Grenada’s Voice and Accountability score has risen from 0.61 in 1996 to 0.78 in 2025, placing it 57th globally among 180 economies. The indicator, which gauges citizens’ ability to express opinions and hold authorities to account, peaked at 0.91 in 2014 before slipping to a trough of 0.50 in 2018, reflecting a brief period of constrained civic space. Over the 26‑year coverage, the recent recovery has brought Grenada close to the level of its regional peer St. Vincent and the Grenadines (0.79) and slightly above Seychelles (0.76), while still lagging behind South Africa’s 0.81. The upward trajectory since the 2018 low suggests that reforms enhancing media freedom and public participation are beginning to take effect. Continued investment in transparent institutions and protection of dissenting voices will be essential to sustain the improvement and potentially lift Grenada’s score further in the coming years.
