The Civic Space Score measures the state of civic freedoms in a country, specifically evaluating the conditions for civil society based on three fundamental dimensions: freedom of association, freedom of peaceful assembly, and freedom of expression. This score helps to assess whether citizens are able to engage and communicate without undue interference or repression by the state.

In 2022, Cabo Verde constituted the African country with the most open civic spaces, obtaining an index score of ** points out of 100. São,Tomé and Príncipe, and Seychelles followed, with ** and ** index points, respectively. In the same year, Norway and Monaco ranked as the countries with the most open civic spaces worldwide.

This study utilizes the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Country-Year Dataset v15 (2025) to analyze cross-national patterns of civic engagement. The V-Dem dataset is one of the most comprehensive expert-coded political science databases available, widely adopted for research on democratic governance and institutional quality. For this analysis, we focus on a targeted sample of low-income fragile states and high-income democracies, using the most recent ten-year period (2015–2024) to capture contemporary governance dynamics. The dataset includes six core indicators that serve as proxies for civic engagement and participatory governance: the Participatory Component Index (v2x_partip), Civil Society Participation Index (v2x_cspart), Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Demonstration (v2cademmob), Freedom of Expression (v2cafres), Anti-System Movements (v2csantimv), and the Direct Popular Vote Index (v2xdd_dd). These variables collectively represent institutionalized opportunities for citizen participation, associational life, expressive freedoms, and mechanisms of direct democracy.

Data processing was conducted in Python via Google Colab to ensure reproducibility, systematic filtering, and efficient management of country-year panel structures. Observations with low coder coverage (fewer than three expert raters per variable-year) were flagged and excluded to mitigate the risk of measurement error and ensure validity. This multidimensional and methodologically rigorous dataset enables granular comparisons across countries and over time. By employing empirically validated indicators, the V-Dem dataset provides a robust analytical foundation for exploring the role of civic engagement in shaping governance outcomes—particularly in fragile states like Haiti, where institutional voids hinder formal governance mechanisms and civic empowerment plays a critical role in reform pathways.

The Computer Mediated Government Transparency Index (T-index) provides an assessment of government transparency based on different kinds of public information services that governments offer to their citizens, encompassing both de jure (signature of treaties and implementation of laws) and de facto (actual availability of data online) aspects of transparency. This index is an important tool for governments and civic actors around the world. Items missing on the index are a guide for transparency advocates.
