The 2018 World Happiness Report has just been released. It evaluates 156 countries based on the pooled results from Gallup World Poll surveys from 2015-2017. The key variables are income, healthy life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust, and generosity.
East Africa and the Horn do not score well. The best performer at number 98 is Somalia! Go figure. Kenya comes in at number 124, Ethiopia at 127, Uganda at 135, Sudan at 137, Tanzania at 153, and South Sudan at 154. Eritrea is not ranked.

The Future of Democracy in Africa
The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published in October 2016 a study titled "The Future of Democracy in Africa" by Jakkie Cilliers, ISS.
Cilliers argues that democracy in much of Africa is constrained from delivering on its development potential for three reasons. First, governance capacity is lacking. Second, the quality of electoral democracy is thin. Third, neopatrimonialism undermines electoral democracy in Africa.
