The comparison tool allows law and policy in different countries to be compared at a glance, and provides a useful snapshot of the position in each country in each of the areas assessed by the API.

Country scores have been placed within bandings, where A represents the highest scores and G identifies countries with the most room for improvement.

You can select up to four countries to compare using this tool. The comparison tool will then show the overall scores of the selected countries, together with their scores in each individual area assessed by the API. The individual report for each country gives more detailed information and explanation of the scores.
