CAF World Giving Index ranking and scores:
The method used to calculate CAF World Giving Index scores remains identical to previous years. In order to establish a rounded measure of giving behavior across the world, the CAF World Giving Index relies on a simple averaging of the responses from the three key questions asked in each country. Each country is given a percentage score and countries are ranked on the basis of these scores.
