Corruption still a problem in Africa, says UN
The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has released a report showing an overall improvement in governance last year in 27 African countries surveyed, but said corruption was still pervasive in almost all of them.
The report, the first of two to be issued after a three-year survey, stressed that major challenges remained. The second report is due in 2007.
ECA's Africa Governance Report 2005 surveyed experts and households in the 27 countries and aimed at measuring citizens' perception of the state of governance in every country.
The research showed major improvements in political governance indicators compared to a decade ago. Many countries now have multiparty regimes with varying degrees of stability, acceptance and legitimacy.
