An international index published on Monday says governance has improved in almost two-thirds of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
The 2008 Ibrahim Index of African Governance said thirty-one of the forty-eight sub-Saharan nations recorded higher scores than in last year's survey.

The index published in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa said post-war Liberia is the best improver in the region.

Mauritius was the best-run country and Somalia the worst.

The index also said governance performance across a large majority of African countries is improving.

The head of the institution said he hopes the reports would be used as a tool by Africa's citizens to hold their governments to account.
