In a promising development for the tech and startup community, a recent report by the Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) reveals that 33 African countries, representing 52.1% of the continent's population, have shown significant improvements in governance over the last decade.

This trend is expected to create a more favorable environment for startups and entrepreneurs, as improved governance often translates to increased stability, security, and ease of doing business. The top 10 most improved African governments, led by Seychelles, Gambia, and Somalia, have made notable strides in areas such as security, rule of law, and participation.

While the report highlights concerns about declining security and rule of law in some countries, the overall improvement in governance is a positive sign for the continent's economic growth and development. This shift is likely to attract more investment, talent, and innovation to Africa, creating opportunities for startups and entrepreneurs to thrive.

As the African startup ecosystem continues to grow, this improvement in governance is a welcome development that could have a lasting impact on the region's entrepreneurial landscape.
