Analysis of the Civil Society Context of Four Selected Countries for the Task Team on Civil Society

This report shows the results of a descriptive quantitative analysis of the civil society context of the four selected countries of the Task Team. The analysis uses data for the year 2010 for five indicators. For each indicator, the value or rank of each of the four countries is compared with the average score for all developing countries for which data is available for a particular index. Also for comparison, the values will be shown for 12 neighboring developing countries. The reference group of developing countries consists of all low and medium income countries (126 countries). The five indices are part of the database Indices of Social Development (www.indsocdev.org). The scale is a 100-point scale, from 0 (low score) to 100 (high score).
