The governance indicators measure the following six dimensions of governance:
i) Voice and Accountability; 
ii) Political Instability and Violence;
iii) Government Effectiveness;
iv) Regulatory Quality; 
v) Rule of Law, and, 
vi) Control of Corruption. 

 

They cover 209 countries and territories for 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004. They are based on several hundred individual variables measuring perceptions of

governance, drawn from 37 separate data sources constructed by 31 different organizations. 

 

The data, as well as a web-based graphical interface, are available at www.worldbank.org/wbi/governance/govdata/ .
