Governance Index

The Governance Index measures how well a country's institutions and systems function to ensure transparency, rule of law, accountability, and effective public services. It assesses factors like government stability, corruption control, legal frameworks, and citizen participation. A high Governance Index indicates strong institutions that support economic growth and social development, while a lower score suggests issues like corruption, weak laws, or political instability. Think of it as a scorecard that reflects the quality and effectiveness of a country's governance practices.
