Abstract

The aims of this research is to examine the effects of governance on sustainable development in West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries over the period 2006 to 2022. It uses the synthetic sustainable development index (SDI). It uses appropriate estimation techniques and finds that political stability, compliance with rules and corruption have an impact on sustainable development. In addition, inflation is a macroeconomic variable that undermines efforts to achieve sustainable development goals. The research encourages all measures aimed at improving governance in the countries of this area.
