Figure 3 provides, on average, the LSCI changes for the OIC-groupings between 2004 and 2018.
As the figure suggests, in terms of average LSCI scores, OIC-MENA region performed better than
OIC-Asia region as well as the world starting from 2008. On the other hand, average LSCI scores
for OIC-Sub-Saharan Africa region remained well below the world averages throughout the
same period.
