The Democracy Score is an average of ratings for the categories tracked in a given year. The Democracy Percentage, introduced in 2020, is a translation of the Democracy Score to the 0-100 scale, where 0 equals least democratic and 100 equals most democratic. See the methodology.

header1 Score changes in 2019

  • Civil Society score improved from 4.25 to 4.50. In 2018, civil society organizations were significantly more active in many policy processes, consulting on the rule of law, anti-corruption, gender equality, and European integration initiatives, as well as public administration reform among others. In addition, NGOs’ capacities to monitor the judicial and prosecutorial systems increased. However, financial stability for civil society organizations remains a challenge, and could become more acute with foreign sources of funding slowly drying up.
