GHANA HAS chalked another feat after the prestigious Jeune Afrique magazine ranked her 9th on the table of 53 African countries for her progressive contributions towards the general wellbeing of her people.

According to a statement issued by the Office of the President yesterday and signed by the Press Secretary to the President, Andrew Awuni, Ghana continues to attract the attention of International Monitoring Groups for her impressive concern for her people.

The latest of these groups - the prestigious Jeune Afrique Magazine - in its latest Development League Report published this month, ranked Ghana 9th on a table of 53 African countries.

In the premiere French Magazine's 2008 report, Ghana placed 8th in Good Governance, 15th in Economic Development and scored aggregate 9, ahead of all her West African neighbours.

The World Bank, in its 2006 and 2007 Annual Reports rated Ghana on both occasions as the best reforming country on the continent.

The Mo Ibrahim Index published late last year also rated Ghana among the first eight top performers in Africa in Good Governance, Rule of Law and Sustainable Economic Opportunity.

In the Jeune Afrique Report, Mauritius led the continent at number one, followed by South Africa, two and Morocco, 3, the statement indicated.
