Abstract

The article aims to identify the nature of the relationship between governance and economic growth. The analysis of the facts showed that the main cause of poor growth in several countries in East Africa and sub - Saharan Africa is the weakness or absence of good governance although some of them are characterized by opulence natural resources such as the case of Nigeria. We will therefore answer the question: How does it affect the political sphere on the economic sphere? We take as a case study the WAEMU countries. Corruption, the main indicator of governance significantly and negatively affect the growth rate in this group of countries.
