Abstract

Abstract We examine the effect of governance quality on sustainable development in Africa. We focus on 48 African countries for the period of 2010 to 2022 using the Generalized Method of Moments framework to analyze the data. We measured sustainable development through three key variables: sustainable economic development, sustainable social development and sustainable environmental development. The findings of this study provides a strong evidence that governance quality plays a critical role in promoting sustainable development . Thus, the empirical evidence in this study largely proves a strong and robust link between the governance quality and sustainable development in Africa.
