Namibia ranked 8th in the Global gender gap
The Global Gender Gap Index annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. Since launching in 2006, it is the longest-standing index tracking the progress of numerous economies’ efforts towards closing these gaps over time.
The top five performers in the region are Namibia (8th, 80,5%), South Africa (18th, 78,5%), Mozambique (27th, 77,6%), Burundi (38th, 75,7%), and Rwanda (39th, 75,7%). Over half of Sub Saharan African countries (18) have closed over 70% of their gender gap, and only Chad trails behind the two-thirds mark (57,6%).
