The European Quality of Government Index (EQI) captures average citizens’ perceptions and experiences with corruption, quality and impartiality of three essential public services – health, education and policing - in their region of residence.

The fourth edition of the European Quality of Government Index – 2021 EQI – enables to compare all the regions in the EU and monitor their evolution since 2010. This comparison allows us to see that some regions have stable scores over time, while others show interesting patterns.
In an effort to try to draw policy lessons on how to improve Quality of Government (QoG) in regions over time, the evolution of some regions showing an interesting pattern has been further studied. We investigated on the possible explanations for these patterns taking into account their socio-economic historical context.
This is not only about quantitative regional survey data – rich qualitative research based on interviews with key local state-holders complements key finding for researchers and policy-makers.
