Top 10 African Countries With The Strongest Governments

GlobalCurrent24.com presents the top 10 African countries with the strongest governments as of 2024. This ranking is courtesy Fragile State Index.

The negative consequences of weak central administrations in African countries are numerous, affecting all aspects of society, from economic progress to political stability and social welfare.

As a result, governments must walk a fine line between asserting control and gaining the trust of their citizens. Unfortunately, this is something that African countries have struggled with. However, some countries on the continent have a strong central government.

The strength and stability of African central governments vary greatly. Some countries have strong and effective governance structures, while others struggle with instability, corruption, and a lack of authority.

Statistics from the Fragile States Index (FSI) highlight this fact. This index, which ranks 178 countries based on the various pressures they face that influence their levels of fragility, demonstrates that, while some African countries suffer from the effects of a weak central government, others thrive in this regard.

What Method Was Used In The Ranking?

As was previously mentioned, the Fragile States Index is predicated on the “CAST” conflict assessment framework.

The CAST framework was originally developed to test this vulnerability and assess potential effects on field initiatives. It is still widely utilized by policymakers, field practitioners, and local community networks.

Twelve conflict risk indicators—security apparatus, factionalized elites, group grievance, economic decline, uneven economic development, human flight and brain drain, state legitimacy, public services, human rights and rule of law, demographic pressures, refugees and internally displaced people, and external intervention—are used to evaluate a state’s current state of affairs.
