Uganda are second in E,Africa shooting 2 places up to 74th while Ethiopia stagnated at 102nd followed by Tanzania at 107th globally.

Sudan follow closely at 110th while Kenya dropped two places down to fall at 118th globally .New entrants South Sudan show some improvement moving one place up to 188th while Eritrea fell at 201 with Somalia moving to 204 and lastly Djibouti at 206.
