La Banque Mondiale a passé au crible 209 pays et conclut dans un rapport récent que les progrès accomplis en matière de bonne gouvernance ont stagné durant la dernière décennie.
Une mauvaise nouvelle, car la maîtrise de la corruption et le respect des droits civils et politiques sont une condition essentielle à l'augmentation du niveau de vie et l'éradication de la pauvreté:
"Good governance can deliver significant improvements in living standards for people in developing countries, and although a number of countries have improved rapidly in recent times, too often there has been inaction, and leaders face the challenge of setting clear targets of good governance standards and tracking their progress.
Government reformers, citizens, domestic enterprises and foreign investors see governance as the key ingredient for sustainable development and a sound investment climate, and around the world demand data and analysis to monitor the quality of governance over time. Aid donors, too, know that aid flows are most effective in countries with good institutional quality."
