Overview
Tajikistan's voice and accountability stood at -1.55 in 2025, a rise of +0.09 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -1.55 by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 192nd globally.
Tajikistan's Voice and Accountability score, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators, has fluctuated over the past 26 years. The country's all-time peak of -1.11 in 2002 was a relatively strong showing, especially when compared to its closest ranking peers, such as Somalia and Sudan, which have struggled with similar governance issues. However, Tajikistan's score has declined significantly since then, reaching an all-time trough of -1.80 in 2019. The latest available data from 2025 shows a score of -1.55, which ranks the country 192nd globally. This decline is concerning, especially when compared to peer countries like Equatorial Guinea, which has achieved a similar score despite its own governance challenges. Looking ahead, a reversal of the current trend would require significant improvements in government transparency, accountability, and citizen participation, potentially driven by efforts to strengthen democratic institutions and promote human rights.
