Abstract: This study examined the impact of institutional systems drawn from economic and political institutions on the quality of life in Sub-Saharan Africa. A panel data of thirty-seven Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2007 to 2021 sourced from the World Bank database and Heritage Foundation. A two-step system-Generalised Method of Movement (GMM) technique was employed to estimate the model. The Sargan test for over-identification restriction and the Arellano-Bond test for second-order serial correlation were conducted. The study reveals that there is a positive relationship between the institutional systems and the quality of life in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study concluded that, for the quality of life in Sub-Saharan Africa to improve, the government in Sub-Saharan Africa should implement laws and policies that will strengthen the existing institutions to improve the quality of life of the people.
