Botswana praised on governance :: Mmegi Online

Botswana was been singled out for special praise by World Bank researchers for good governance. The applause coincided with the launch of the 2007 World Governance Indicators (WGI) Report. The full-title of the report is: "Governance Matters, 2007: Worldwide Governance Indicators 1996-2006". The launch was held at the World Bank Institute in Washington DC.

In a statement released by the World Bank to coincide with the launch, Botswana has been singled out by researchers as being among a select group of developing countries that score higher on key dimensions of governance than a number of leading industrialised countries. Botswana is the only African country to be so singled out in the statement.

The other high achievers among those classified as developing countries listed along with Botswana in the statement are Slovenia, Chile, Estonia, Uruguay, Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, and Costa Rica.
