JRC Statistical Audit of the Africa Regional Integration Index 2019
The Africa Regional Integration Index (ARII) is a multidimensional index that is meant to capture integration of African countries, on the five dimensions of trade, productive, macroeconomic and infrastructural integration and free movement of people. It was developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Union Commission and the African Development Bank.
The European Commission’s Competence Centre on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards (COIN) at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra was invited by the ECA to audit the ARII. JRC-COIN aims to help ensure the transparency of the index methodology and the reliability of its results. This JRC-COIN audit focuses on data quality, the statistical soundness of the multi-level structure of the index, and the impact of key modelling assumptions on the results.
