Rwanda has shockingly topped the list of countries with the worst road infrastructure on the African continent.

The list, which was recently released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), indicated 10 African countries with the worst road infrastructure.

The list is a result of IMF working papers on the quality of roads and mean speed score, which revealed the extent to which African countries are facing road infrastructure challenges.

The IMF created a new way to assess the condition of cross-country roads by using Google Maps’ average speed between major cities. This Mean Speed (MS) score is a useful stand-in for assessing accessibility and road quality.

Uganda was shockingly not among the countries on this list.

Below is the list of countries with the worst road infrastructure, according to IMF:
