A cross-country comparison of development and corruption shows a clear relationship: Countries that score higher on the Corruption Perceptions Index (indicating they are seen as less corrupt) also tend to perform better on the Human Development Index. The Human Development Index measures several components related to standard of living, education levels, and overall well-being. The Corruption Perceptions Index is an average score derived from surveys of experts on public sector corruption, including bribery and misuse of office. African nations generally perform poorly on both indices, while European nations tend to score favourably on both. Out of 175 countries assessed (where data is available for both indicators), Namibia ranks 121st on the Human Development Index, with a score of 0.665. The lowest-ranked country is South Sudan, with a score of 0.388
