Influence Index

Influence is not declared. It is measured.

Every week, track who is gaining influence across Africa.

Influence is not declared. It is measured. Each week, Influence Index takes the moves of the previous days, agendas, decisions, maps, demand, and ranks who gained ground in Africa and who lost it: a power, a company, an institution, a fund. One index, a handful of indicators: money committed, agreements signed, visits made, votes won, contracts lost. Five seconds for the week's winner. Thirty for the movements and what drove them. Ten for the trend. The index is GA's own; its method is published and its data open to challenge. Fifth link, and the close of the chain.
