The stand out result from the 2015 index is that African countries have improved their transparency scores. From 2012 to 2015, African countries improved by an average of 9.4% in the index (compared to 3% from 2010 to 2012), with Tunisia, the DRC, Senegal, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Rwanda, Zambia and Benin posting the most impressive improvements. Looking at the trends since 2006, it would appear that countries find it relatively easy to improve their scores to “minimal” and “some” budget information and relatively challenging to break through to the categories of “significant” and “extensive”. As expected, it is easier for countries to publish information that they already produce internally, which doesn’t necessarily require additional resources but rather the right political framework. In the past, Tunisia was producing the Executive’s Budget Proposal for internal use only but did not make it available to the public. The improvement in their score from 11 to 42 is the result of the publication and improved comprehensiveness of the Executives Budget Proposal, publication of the Pre-Budget Statement and Mid-Year Review as well as an indication of a more open political environment following the popular overthrow of the Ben Ali regime.
