Foreword
The first in a series of annual reports, CPIA Africa describes how African countries are improving the quality
of policies and institutions that are important for development. Every year, the World Bank’s country
teams and sector experts assess the quality of IDA countries’ policy and institutional framework across
16 dimensions, grouped into four clusters: economic management; structural policies; policies for social
inclusion and equity; and public sector management and institutions. The Country Policy and Institutional
Assessment (CPIA) has been measuring and tracking the strength of policies and institutions in IDA-eligible
countries since 1980, and releasing that information since 2006. Until now, the CPIA has been used mainly
to inform IDA’s allocation of resources to poor countries and in research. Yet the information contained in
the CPIA is potentially valuable to governments, the private sector, civil society, researchers and the media
as a tool to monitor their country’s progress and benchmark it against progress in other countries. By
presenting the CPIA scores for 38 African countries over six years in one easy-to-read document, this report
aims to provide citizens with information that can support evidence-based debate that can, in turn, lead
to better development outcomes. The scope of the report is motivated by the World Bank’s Open Data
Initiative and the new Africa Strategy, both of which seek to foster participation in development from a
wide range of stakeholders by providing broader access to data and knowledge.

2011 CPIA Results for Africa
Summary
u Amid difficult global economic conditions, the quality of policies and institutions in a majority of Sub-Saharan
African countries remained stable or improved.

u For several countries, the policy environment for growth and poverty reduction has never been better.

u Policies in African countries, excluding fragile states, compare well with that of non-fragile states elsewhere.

u The region’s fragile states are also seeing some improvement in their policy environment, but overall these
countries have much weaker performance than non-African fragile states.

u The governance challenge in Africa is particularly acute; the performance of public sector management and
institutions lags all other CPIA components.

Recent trends and analysis
CPIA Africa presents the most recent CPIA scores for the 38 IDA-eligible African countries. The scores (on a scale of 1
to 6, with 6 the highest) are an indicator of the quality of IDA countries’ policy and institutional framework across 16
dimensions, which are grouped into four clusters: Cluster A - Economic Management; Cluster B - Structural Policies; Cluster
C - Policies for Social Inclusion/Equity; and Cluster D - Public Sector Management and Institutions.1 The components of
the CPIA are identified in the economic literature as being broadly relevant for sustaining growth and improving welfare.2

evaluation and by the relevant literature findings and the lessons learned in carrying out the annual CPIA exercise in the the 2011 CPIA
past few years. In undertaking the revisions, special attention was given to ensuring that the content of the revisions was criteria
commensurate with the availability of information and the ability to assess country performance; and that some degree of
continuity was preserved in the criteria.

In revising the criteria, some changes in scores are going to be unavoidable. Overall, the revisions have not resulted in
significant changes in country scores.

Among the revisions are the following:

In Q4 (Trade) trade policy and trade facilitation are now equally weighted; more emphasis is placed on the trade regime,
not just imports; services are explicitly introduced; and the trade facilitation sub-component elaborated.

The coverage of social assistance programs including coordination, reach and targeting issues in Q10 (Social Protection
and Labor) was strengthened.

Q15 (Quality of Public Administration) was revised to include a stronger focus on the core public administration and,
when relevant, a more explicit treatment of sub-national governments.

The changes in Q16 (Transparency, Accountability and Corruption in the Public Sector) include adding a new dimension to
cover aspects of financial corruption such as in public contracting that previously were not consistently assigned: a more
explicit coverage of transparency of fiscal information, and a more consistent treatment of state capture and conflicts of
interest as distinct forms of corruption.

The Africa region’s average CPIA score for IDA countries is 3.2 in 2011, same as in 2010. Nevertheless, for several countries
the policy environment has improved and is the best in recent years. Indeed, 13 countries saw an improvement in the
2011 score by at least 0.1, 20 countries saw no change, and five countries witnessed a decline in the overall CPIA score of
0.1 or more (Figure 2). In short, despite a challenging global economic environment, African countries continued to pursue
policies aligned with growth and poverty reduction. This pattern was observed in the aftermath of the global financial
and economic crisis of 2008-09. During the global crisis, the payoffs to market-oriented, pro-poor economic reforms fell,
prompting a concern that countries may backtrack on important policy gains. Yet policymakers continued with prudent
policies, even in the face of contradictory policies elsewhere.

The regional average CPIA score of 3.2 masks the wide variation across countries, from a high of 4.0 for Cape Verde, which
continues to be in the top end of the score range despite a decline in its score in both 2010 and 2011, to a low of 2.2 for
Eritrea and Zimbabwe. There is considerable variation, especially between “fragile situations�? (also referred to as fragile
states in this report) and other countries.4 The region has a large number of fragile states: 17 of the world’s 33,5 using the
World Bank’s definition of fragile situations. The capacity of the public sector in most of these countries is exceptionally
weak. Not surprisingly, the average CPIA score for these countries is much lower than that of non-fragile countries, at 2.7
and 3.5, respectively (Figure 3). Hampered with severe governance problems, including widespread corruption and civil
conflict, Africa’s resource-rich countries on average tend to lag the non-resource-rich countries: overall CPIA scores are 3.0
for resource rich and 3.3 for non-resource-rich countries.

4 The World Bank defines “fragile situations�? as either: (a) IDA-eligible countries with a harmonized average CPIA rating of 3.2 or less (or no CPIA), or (b) countries with the presence of a UN
and/or regional peace-keeping or peace-building mission during the past three years. IBRD-only countries are not included in the fragile situations list.
5 Twenty eight out of a total of 33 fragile countries are included in the analysis. Excluded are countries which do not have a CPIA score:
Myanmar, Somalia, West Bank and Gaza, Western Sahara, and Iraq.

Analysis of CPIA components

CLUSTER A: ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT
Cluster A covers the quality of three closely related policy areas: monetary and exchange rate, fiscal, and debt.

The economic performance of the region has shown remarkable resilience to the turbulent global economic environment
of the past several years. Despite a sharp slow down in global economic activity, growth in Sub-Saharan Africa remained
robust in 2011, steadying at 4.7 percent for the year—just shy of the pre-crisis average of 5 percent. Over a third of
countries in the region attained growth rates of at least 6 percent, with another forty percent growing between 4 to 6
percent. Among fast-growing economies in 2011 were resource-rich countries such as Ghana, Mozambique, and Nigeria,
as well as non-resource-rich economies such as Rwanda and Ethiopia, all attaining growth rates of at least 7 percent in
2011. The region saw an uptick in overall inflation in 2011, due to rising food and fuel prices; some countries (Ethiopia,
Kenya, Uganda) also saw sharply higher rates for core inflation.

Macroeconomic management has generally been prudent following the global economic crisis of 2008-09, although
strains have emerged in recent years. Mostly, where there was policy space, countries adopted countercyclical policies
to offset the external demand shock. Along with shoring up spending on social sectors, there was an emphasis on
much-needed infrastructure spending. The expansionary fiscal policy stance since 2008 has translated into a worsening
of the fiscal balance as a share of GDP—in 2011 the fiscal deficit was about 2 percentage points above 2008 levels.
African countries’ debt burden has also trended up during this period, but they remain moderate and manageable. An
accommodative monetary policy was tightened in countries that saw a sharp uptick in core inflation, and the region is
seeing a downward trend in inflation.

The CPIA score for the economic management cluster and the components of this cluster reflect the overall prudent
stance of policies in Sub-Saharan African countries, the flexibility of policies to respond to shocks, and the appropriate use
of policy buffers. The 2011 average scores for the region’s 38 IDA countries are: Monetary and exchange rate policy (3.6),
Fiscal policy (3.4), and Debt policy (3.3).

CLUSTER B: STRUCTURAL POLICIES
Policies impacting trade, the financial sector and the business environment are covered under this cluster.

8
Trade. This component assesses how the policy framework fosters global integration in goods and services, focusing
on the trade regime and trade facilitation. African countries have significantly reduced their external tariffs over the last
20 years. Nevertheless, in many countries there is a continuing case to review the extent of tariff dispersion and for a
smaller number of countries to reduce the complexity of the tariff regime with fewer tariff bands or rates. The unweighted
average external (MFN) tariff for Sub-Saharan Africa is just over 11 percent, still considerably higher than the average of 7.9
percent for East Asia and 9.5 percent for Latin America, but similar to the average for South Asia. There is dispersion across
countries with Sudan, the Gambia, Chad, Cameroon and Ethiopia having average tariffs above 15 percent and the SACU
countries with average tariffs below 10 percent.

While tariffs have come down, non-tariff barriers, including import and export bans, quantitative restrictions, costly
and difficult-to-obtain permits and licenses, poorly designed technical regulations and standards, and restrictive rules
of origin, have risen in importance. Following the 2011 revisions to the criteria, non-tariff barriers have also been given
greater prominence in the CPIA scores on trade, something that is facilitated by greater data availability on these barriers.
Inefficiencies in transport, customs (including delays at road checks, borders and at ports and poor governance) and
logistics are also key factors that raise trade costs. Together these barriers impinge particularly on intra-African trade and
the costs are felt most heavily by the poor, especially small traders – many of whom are women. Information from the
Doing Business surveys shows that the number of days required to import and export is typically 10 days higher in Africa
than in other developing regions (with the exception of South Asia) and often more than 20 days longer than in OECD
countries. But some countries in Africa are performing close to the levels of advanced countries—in Senegal, for example,
it takes just 11 days to export and 14 days to import, better than in many other developing countries. On the other hand,
in Chad it takes on average 75 days to export and 101 days to import.

Finally, trade in services has become of greater importance to African countries. Greater attention, especially in regional
agreements, is being given to delivering open and integrated markets for key services such as banking, transport and
communications that are supported by effective regulation that fosters competition while achieving critical public policy
objectives.

Addressing these issues in Africa is critical to reduce the transaction costs of shifting goods, services, people and capital
across borders and supporting more diversified exports such as food, basic manufactures and services. In this context,
the average of the CPIA scores for trade across African countries is unchanged between 2010 and 2011 at 3.6, reflecting
limited progress in dealing with the regulatory issues that typically underlie these barriers to trade and investment. Static
scores reflect slower progress on reforming customs procedures and other trade facilitation reforms and the continuing
lack of implementation of commitments (typically at the regional level) to remove non-tariff barriers.

Financial sector. The areas covered here are the policies and regulations that affect financial sector development: financial
stability, efficiency, and access. While the direct impact of the global financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent events on
the financial systems in Sub-Saharan Africa has been relatively contained, the crises do seem to have constrained the
reform momentum that was gathering in the preceding years. While most African financial systems have not experienced
any sharp deterioration, they have also not experienced any improvement. Thus, the impact of the turmoil in the global
markets on Africa has been more implicit. There are also concerns regarding the pace of institutional reforms in several
major financial systems. As a result, most African financial systems continue to be relatively stable but with large sections
of the population operating outside the formal financial sector. Only 12 percent of African households were “banked�? in
2009, compared to 22 percent in South Asia, 42 percent in East Asia and the Middle East, 50 percent in Eastern Europe, and
40 percent in Latin America. The single biggest issue is how to catalyze domestic financial intermediation to meet the vast
investment needs across the region. Too often, banks in Africa prefer to invest in ‘safer’ government obligations, crowding
out private investment opportunities. The microfinance sector, which is very suited in scale to the nature of private

9
enterprise, in Africa has yet to take off and still depends largely on donor funding. However, there have also been some
notable innovations based on the recent strides in mobile technology—Safaricom’s M-pesa in Kenya is a leading example.

The 2011 average of the financial sector score across African countries is largely unchanged at 3.0 from a year ago.

Business regulatory environment: This component assesses the quality of the legal, regulatory, and policy environment
in facilitating private investment and job creation. Over the past decade, the investment climate in Africa has been on an
improving trend as governments have moved to remove policy distortions and promote competitiveness. Investment
and private sector activity in the region has been robust. However, much remains to be done. For the 38 IDA countries
in Africa, the CPIA scores for the past two years show a fairly high level of stability, with the overall score at 3.0. Among
the improved performers in 2011 was Burundi, which was also listed as a Top Ten reformer in the last Doing Business (DB)
report, with improvements registered in the number of days required to start a business.

CLUSTER C: POLICIES FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION AND EQUITY
This cluster covers a wide range of policy areas such as gender equality, public resource use, human development, social
protection, and environmental sustainability.

Gender equality. This component assesses the extent to which a country’s policies and institutions promote equal access
for men and women to human capital, productive and economic resources, and status and protection. Reflecting the large
gender inequalities in Sub-Saharan Africa, the scores for this component range from 2.5 to 4.5 (with an average of 3.2). The
variations in scores within this range reflect differing degrees to which government laws, policies and mechanisms address
gender inequalities. Countries with scores in the high end of the range not only have such policies and laws in place but
also specific mechanisms to enforce them. Examples of high-scoring countries include Rwanda and Cape Verde, with
relatively low levels of inequality in access to health and education and with strong legal protection against gender-based
violence, sexual harassment and workplace discrimination as well as the legal infrastructure to prosecute such crimes. The
countries on the lower end of the score range are those with persistently high gender differences even at the primary-
education level, including Niger and Guinea.

One of the persistent areas in which many African countries continue to struggle is maternal mortality. While some
countries (Angola, Liberia and Rwanda) have seen rapid declines in maternal mortality between 2005 and 2010, other
countries (Cameroon and Chad) have stagnated at high levels (Figure 7).

Reducing maternal mortality requires a multi-sectoral effort to overcome complex social, financial, and infrastructural
constraints. A case in point is adolescent fertility, a key contributor to maternal mortality. One of the most effective ways
to reduce the fertility preferences of young women is to improve their employment opportunities. Hence, the reduction
of maternal mortality involves interventions to improve roads, bolster youth employment, and change social norms to
encourage women to delay first childbirth. These are particularly important in fragile settings, where maternal mortality
rates are highest.

Building human resources. The focus here is on the quality of national policies and public and private sector service
delivery in the areas of education and health. Over the past several years, the region has made important strides in both
these areas. Overall, countries have established education sector development plans/strategies, likely enhanced by the
Global Partnership for Education (a multi-donor initiative that funds the education MDGs) which asks for a sector plan
before qualifying for implementation grants. Policies for teacher training have lagged however. The region has seen a
positive trend in the primary completion rate (PCR), which jumped from 62 percent to 71 percent in 2005-10. Access to
secondary education has increased at a fast pace of 41.6 percent during this period. Gender parity has also improved

Social protection and labor. This component
addresses social policies and programs in the areas of risk prevention, safety nets and labor markets, and it assesses the
effectiveness of the social protection system. Over the last ten years, social protection has become a key component of
poverty reduction strategies in the region. Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) from many African countries have
laid out social protection responses to risks, vulnerability, and chronic poverty. At least one-third of African countries have
developed a social protection strategy and there is also an increasing appreciation among national policymakers that
social protection consists of much more than just safety net programs. Social protection in Africa has continued to expand,
particularly in the wake of the global economic crisis and again during the recent drought in Eastern Africa. Although
spending on social protection is increasing, overall levels remain low. This is reflected in the very low coverage of social
protection programs in most African countries. The Bank’s Social Protection Atlas shows that only 20 percent of Africans
benefit from some type of publicly provided social protection, far lower than any other region in the world. Pensions and
Old Age Savings programs and Labor Markets Programs and Policies remain weak and lag other regions, although focus on
these areas is beginning to increase.

11
The regional average of the CPIA social protection score in 2011 was 3.0, which is unchanged from the previous year.
Scores are in a range of 2.0-4.5, with Cape Verde (4.5) and Ghana (4.0) on the upper end and Central African Republic,
Eritrea and Zimbabwe (2.0) on the lower end.

Policies and institutions for environmental sustainability. This component assesses the robustness of environmental
policies and institutions promoting the sustainable use of natural resources and protecting the environment. Special
attention is paid to access to information, public participation and the assessment systems, as well as to quality of policies
and their implementation and enforcement.

The consultation process in many African countries has been strengthened through the prominent role played by civil
society in the countries that are a part of the REDD ( Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation)
mechanism, including Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana
and Nigeria. Several countries have also taken important strides in protecting natural forests (for example, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Ghana and Rwanda).

Access to information remains weak throughout much of the continent, particularly outside major cities. Environmental
regulatory agencies in most countries do not have adequately trained staff and are not provided with strong enough
enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance with environmental legislation. This is particularly an issue at the
provincial level. Many countries have commenced work on Strategic Environmental Assessments (Zambia, Ghana,
Mauritania and Mozambique) although it is still too early to judge if recommendations of these assessments will be
implemented successfully.

Access to clean water is perhaps the most critical concern for the African continent. Law enforcement relating to
freshwater management remains a huge challenge, and in many countries water rights are not clearly defined. Even where
water resource management legislation is in place, protection of scarce water resources is often inadequately managed,
with this problem being most acute in fragile states and areas in conflict. Air and water pollution standards exist in most
countries, but air and water quality testing (with the exception of the Southern African states) is not comprehensive due
to financial and institutional capacity constraints. Waste management remains a huge environmental and public health
problem throughout the continent.

The regional CPIA score for this category is 3.1 in 2011, with country scores in a range of 2 to 4.

CLUSTER D: PUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENT AND INSTITUTIONS
(GOVERNANCE CLUSTER)
This cluster covers governance and public sector capacity.

The governance challenge in Africa is particularly acute and the region faces a number of governance and institutional
issues that have undoubtedly constrained development outcomes. For example, corruption and lack of transparency
reduce the effectiveness and integrity of the use of public resources (e.g. natural resource revenues). Deficient public
administration affects policy implementation, regulatory management and service delivery at national and sub-national
levels. Low levels of development in the legal systems and governance structures downplay security of property
and contract rights (e.g. in fragile countries). Meanwhile, weaknesses in revenue collection, budgetary and financial
management are reducing predictability of public investments and their expected development impacts.

Recognizing the importance of governance and public sector capacity as a foundation for sustainable growth, many
countries in the region are promoting important reforms. In the area of Property rights and rule based governance,
Senegal introduced reforms in the court system; Sierra Leone made improvements in policing and crime control;

financial management system was restored

On Efficiency of revenue mobilization, Burundi, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe strengthened their tax administration
functions and other countries continued to make marginal improvement efforts in tax policies and management.
Some countries took steps to enhance the Quality of public administration. For example, The Gambia reduced wage
compression in the public sector and introduced a successful recruitment and retention program for the education sector
to encourage teachers to work in rural areas. Task forces bringing together staff from several ministries for cross-cutting
themes were also implemented successfully. In Ethiopia, the government undertook sound human resource performance
monitoring using clear baseline data, and there was good administrative coordination at the central and sub-national
levels. There were also regulatory quality management arrangements including consultative mechanisms and regulatory
impact assessments in regulatory agencies.

Some progress in the area of Transparency, accountability and corruption in the public sector was also evident. Ethiopia
moved to increase disclosure of government budget information and improve external audit and financial management
systems; asset disclosure by government officials was also introduced. The Gambia saw improved government audit
functions and information availability to citizens via websites. Successful establishment of a public procurement regulatory
authority helped Senegal cut corruption in the public sector. There was also better provision of information to citizens and
media services.

Overall, the average score for Cluster D is low at 3.0, with the weakest performance in the components of Transparency,
accountability and corruption in public sector and Property rights and rule-based government, both with an average
score of 2.8. At 3.4, Efficiency of revenue mobilization is the best performing component in this cluster. According to the
2011 CPIA scores, nine out of the 38 IDA-eligible countries have improved their rankings by 0.1 to 0.3 over the last year:
Cote d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Togo, Burundi, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Senegal, Sierra Lone and Zimbabwe (Figure 8).
Over the same period, a few countries saw a decline in their average CPIA score.6

6 The decline in Rwanda is on account of the change in criteria.
