Since 2021, organized crime in Africa has grown least compared to other continents and is below the global average, according to the ENACT report, which calculates the crime index on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest.Here are the 10 African countries with the lowest levels of organized crime: On the other side of the rankings were DR Congo (7.35), Nigeria (7.28), South Africa (7.18), Kenya (7.2), and Libya (6.93). However, unlike the other leading countries in the ranking, the DRC's crime rate has decreased slightly since the 2021 results.Organized crime rates vary by region, with the lowest in Southern Africa (4.83) and the highest in Eastern Africa (5.88). However, Southern Africa includes countries with some of the highest crime rates on the continent, such South Africa and Mozambique.In terms of resilience to organized crime, West Africa showed some relatively positive developments in 2023, despite facing multiple challenges, the report added.Globally, the study found that while Africa's resilience is still below the global average, the continent's resilience has improved since 2021. The improvement followed a decline in resilience in 2020, which was attributed to countries focusing on fighting the pandemic rather than organized crime.

Since 2021, organized crime in Africa has grown least compared to other continents and is below the global average, according to the ENACT report, which calculates the crime index on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest.
Here are the 10 African countries with the lowest levels of organized crime:

Sao Tome and Principe - 1.70
On the other side of the rankings were DR Congo (7.35), Nigeria (7.28),
South Africa (7.18), Kenya (7.2), and Libya (6.93). However, unlike the other leading countries in the ranking, the DRC's crime rate has decreased slightly since the 2021 results.
Organized
crime rates vary by region, with the lowest in Southern Africa (4.83) and the highest in Eastern Africa (5.88). However, Southern Africa includes countries with some of the highest crime rates on the continent, such South Africa and Mozambique.
In terms of resilience to organized crime, West Africa showed some relatively positive developments in 2023, despite facing multiple challenges, the report added.
Globally, the study found that while Africa's resilience is still below the global average, the continent's resilience has improved since 2021. The improvement followed a decline in resilience in 2020, which was attributed to countries focusing on fighting the pandemic rather than organized crime.
