Botswana's Corruption Forecast

Forecasted trend:
Stationary
Botswana, the longtime African champion of free elections, autonomous bureaucracy and judiciary has slightly regressed over the past decade. Trends are contradictory, with significant declines in fiscal transparency, press freedom and judicial independence -- once the country’s strong points -- but significant progress on e-citizenship and reducing administrative burden. Botswana’s way ahead is to invest more in transparency, where it performs poorly, and to show more restraint over judicial pursuit of the political opposition unless a unitary treatment can be applied to all politicians. The country was once placed by CPI ahead of Italy but now is ranked 85 in IPI 2021, on a par with Angola. An entire point was lost due to the change of methodology, as Administrative Burden, where the country was doing well, was discontinued and replaced with Administrative Transparency -- where it fares poorly.

Angola's Corruption Forecast

Forecasted trend:
Stationary
Angola has improved in the past decade on fiscal transparency and e-government, although more progress is needed. The situation remains poor on judicial independence and press freedom, where the country is still a laggard among its peers and has hardly improved in the last 10 years. The legacy of government favoritism needs to be gradually eliminated by the removal of administrative and economic privileges for those connected with the party in power: most transparency and administrative simplification reforms would achieve that if pursued consistently. The number of digital citizens remains too small for a critical mass to constantly demand good governance, although the small free media does its best.
