Figure 25: Point changes on UNGS indicators by African Group country, 2015-2017.
Source : UNGS. Note: zero height bars indicate no change. Data for other countries not available for both years.
The next figure shows the situation for the Arab Group. In line with the group average discussed
above, there is little evidence of forward movement in a general sense within the group. In many
cases, there was no change between 2015 and 2017. Yemen, Qatar, and Djibouti stand out as
having seen positive changes in the UNGS data, but as in the case of the African Group, progress
is piecemeal, in the sense of being focused on particular measures. There is no evidence of broad
based improvements in performance, although it is important to recall that some Arab Group
countries are already strong performers in the UNGS data, as discussed above, in a static sense,
so there is limited scope for further improvement.
