Better governance improves human capital development in terms of skill development, improved quality of life, and improved health.
“In general, better governance improves human capital development in term of skill development, improved quality of life, and improved health [2].”
From The Governance-Development Nexus in Sierra Leone: Exploring Institutional Path to Human Progress (2026) · cites this paper as [2]
The Conclusion (page unavailable) says high governance costs undermine human capital development in Enugu State and identifies skills, healthcare, and well-being as its components. The skill-acquisition section also links governance costs to weaker skills programs. These passages support the claim's general direction, but they do not establish that better governance improves health or quality of life in general. (LLM, conf=0.81)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
