2024 Ibrahim I ndex of African G overnance _ Methodology

Given these considerations, to be included in the IIAG, a variable must have at least two years’ worth of data since the beginning of the time series (2014 in the case of the 2024 IIAG dataset) for at least 33 countries and the latest data point for these 33 countries must exist within the last three years (2021-2023 in the case of the 2024 IIAG dataset). [...] This method performs an order preserving linear transformation of the data, in which the maximum value in the raw data becomes the highest score and the minimum value in the raw data becomes the lowest score for each variable. [...] The min-max normalisation method subtracts from the actual value the minimum value of the entire raw dataset (2014-2023) in the specific variable and divides by the range of the variable values. [...] While the weight of the categories and sub-categories is equal in the Overall Governance composite score, indicators have different implicit weighting as a result of the structure of the IIAG - with the number of indicators per sub-category going from four to six, with the majority having five. [...] How many data points are there at the country level? There are at least 33 African There are fewer than 33 African countries with two data points from countries with two data points from source since the beginning of the source since the beginning of the time time series (2014 in the case of the series (2014 in the case of the 2024 2024 IIAG dataset).
