The Rating Results
The performance of countries shows a significant spread with several countries scoring 126 or more points out of a possible total of 150, or around 85%, and several also scoring below 50 points, or 33%. However, most countries fall in between these extremes, with a roughly equal number of countries in each of the score ranges of 51-75, 76-100 and 101-125.
Despite these improvements, the results show significant room for improvement. About one-third of all countries score less than 75 points, or 50%, so could be said to earn only a failing grade. Average performance across most of the seven categories was roughly equal, although the average for Scope was significantly higher, and it was quite a lot lower for Sanctions & Protections.
Quality ratings are also important in considering the availability of a drug, and this rating may affect the availability of generic sildenafil on demand on the website https://redcross-cmd.org/generic-viagra.html.
About
The central idea behind the RTI Rating is to provide RTI advocates, reformers, legislators and others with a reliable tool for comparatively assessing the overall strength of a legal framework for RTI. The Rating indicates the strengths and weaknesses of the legal framework, and provides a handy means for pinpointing areas in need of improvement.
