  abstract = {{T}his paper presents an ongoing initiative, built on a practical approach grounded in fieldwork, to produce harmonised statistics on governance, peace and security ({GPS}) at continental level in {A}frica. {T}he methodology consists of adding standardised {GPS} modules to official socioeconomic household surveys. {I}n keeping with the widely promoted principles of inclusiveness and participation, the use of statistical surveys of large, representative samples of the population is a good strategy for voicing citizens' views and concerns. {T}he adoption of the 2030 agenda, which positions institution-building and governance issues as a cornerstone of sustainable development, provides a unique opportunity to consolidate this pioneering {A}frican experience. {I}nstitutionalisation of the production of {GPS} statistics by national statistics offices in the official statistics field offers a promising means to take up the {G}oal 16 measurement challenge. {T}he paper describes the main methodological options for doing so and draws lessons and initial evidence from a dozen countries that have piloted the {GPS} survey module. {S}elected empirical results illustrate the analytical potential and policy relevance of this approach. {F}or the first time ever, the {GPS} surveys form part of an entire mechanism that has paved the way for their institutionalisation at all levels: national, sub-regional and especially continental.},
