Democratisation

Progress in the area of democratisation was limited in 2021.

Limited progress is noted in media and civil society, elections, and public administration, whereas good progress is noted in political stability. There has been some progress in civil society, limited progress on freedom of media, and no progress on the legal framework. Some progress is reported on security and public order, constitutional and legal order, relations between the government and opposition, and the functioning of institutions. In elections, there is some progress on election administration and campaign environment, limited progress on women’s representation, and no progress on the legal framework. In public administration, some progress is achieved in public finances, limited progress in the functioning of public administration, and no progress on service delivery, representation, or legal framework.
