This page presents the updated aggregate governance research indicators for 209 countries for 1996�2004, for six dimensions of governance:

  • Voice and Accountability
  • Political Stability and Absence of Violence
  • Government Effectiveness
  • Regulatory Quality
  • Rule of Law
  • Control of Corruption

The data and methodology used to construct the indicators are described in "Governance Matters IV: Governance Indicators for 1996�2004."�The data can be accessed interactively through the links on the right of this page.


Access data:

1. Interactive governance indicators: charts & tables—This interactive webtool generates charts and tables in two modes: comparison within one country for all six indicators or comparison for one governance indicator across multiple countries. Any chart can be easily downloaded into user-friendly formats.

2. Excel-based global comparative graphs—This interactive tool produces graphs for each governance dimension that display the 2004 governance ratings for each country, allowing the user to highlight countries of interest. Charts are displayed in six separate sheets, illustrating the range of likely values of each governance indicator for the selected countries and compared with all other countries worldwide for that indicator. The interface also provides the option to compare 2004 estimates with previous years.

3. Governance world map navigation, country statistics and charts—The Governance Map Web Interactivity provides an alternative, user-friendly interface to display the governance indicator data. The interactive map assigns selected countries a specific color based on the percentile rank for the selected governance indicator.

4. Download data in excel format—From this page users can download data according to individual needs. In addition to downloading the entire dataset, this page offers the option to download a tailor-customed dataset according to three criteria: by country, by year or by indicator.

5. Methodological papers on governance—Access World Bank Institute research on governance issues.

6. FAQ—Learn the answers to some commonly asked questions regarding the governance indicators.


Note: The updated indicators for 1996–2004, available in May 2005, supersede the previously posted indicators from 1996 to 2002.


The governance indicators presented here reflect the statistical compilation of responses on the quality of governance given by a large number of enterprise, citizen and expert survey respondents in industrial and developing countries, as compiled by a number of survey institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations.�The aggregate indicators in no way reflect the official position of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. As discussed in detail in the accompanying papers, countries' relative positions on these indicators are subject to margins of error that are clearly indicated. Consequently, precise country rankings cannot be inferred from this data.
