The Africa Regional Integration Index measures the extent to which African countries meet their commitments under various pan-African integration frameworks, such as Agenda 2063 and the Abuja Treaty.
ARII covers five dimensions of regional integration: trade integration, productive integration, macroeconomic integration, infrastructural integration, and the free movement of people.
