This article appreciates the role of Institutional quality in addressing inequalities in Africa. Starting from Piketty’s (2015) holistic analysis of income inequalities and their sources, we have integrated two contemporary forms of inequalities (environmental and housing). We carry out an estimation of a panel data model using the Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM) on a sample of 48 African countries for the period 1996–2016, which yielded two main results. Firstly, governance indices reduce income inequality and have a significant adverse effect on housing and environmental inequalities. Secondly, Longevity of the regime and the Term in power of the political party of the chief executive exacerbate the inequalities in all its forms.

本文赞赏机构质量在解决非洲不平等问题中的作用。从Piketty（2015）对收入不平等及其根源的整体分析开始，我们整合了两种当代形式的不平等现象（环境和住房）。我们使用最大似然法（MLM）对1996-2016年期间48个非洲国家的样本进行了面板数据模型的估计，得出了两个主要结果。首先，治理指数减少了收入不平等，并对住房和环境不平等产生了重大不利影响。其次，政权的长寿和行政长官政党的任期加剧了各种形式的不平等。
