 Foreword
For eight years, the CAF World Giving Index has given unique insight into generosity around the world
chronicling trends in giving across continents and cultures worldwide.

Its aim is simple: to provoke debate and encourage people, policymakers and civil society to think about
what drives giving, and put in place policies to grow the culture of giving worldwide.

The questions that make up the Index focus on the universal do we give money or time or do we help
strangers in need. It confounds traditional views of the link between wealth and generosity, confirming
what we all surely know: that giving is about spirit and inner motivation, not about financial means.

This year, all developed countries in the top 20 most generous show a fall. But across the continent of
Africa, giving is on the rise. It would be wrong to read too much into one years findings. But what is clear
is that across fast developing countries the potential for giving is on the rise. People across the world
are becoming employed, wealth is starting to spread, and millions of people are enjoying rising living
standards and disposable income.

What would happen if those people felt confident to give to civil society? It could yield vast resources
to help solve the worlds most intractable social problems, help people in need, build truly sustainable
development and transform lives around the world.

The world has a historic opportunity to cultivate civil society, and through it, transform the lives of
millions. And this international study provides a chance to talk about how we can make that happen.

That is what the CAF World Giving Index is about.

About this report
Background

The aim of the CAF World Giving Index is to provide insight into the scope and nature of giving around
the world. In order to ensure that giving is understood in its various forms, the report looks at three
aspects of giving behaviour. The questions that lie at the heart of the report are:

Have you done any of the following in the past month?

Helped a stranger, or someone you didnt know who needed help?

Donated money to a charity?

Volunteered your time to an organisation?

Fieldwork is conducted by the market research firm, Gallup,1 as part of its World Poll initiative2.

CAF World Giving Index 2017

This eighth edition of the World Giving Index again presents giving data from across the globe over a
five year period (2012-2016). The World Giving Index 2017 includes data from 139 countries that was
collected throughout 2016. A full explanation of the methodology used is included in the appendices.

CAF World Giving Index ranking and scores

The method used to calculate World Giving Index scores remains identical to previous years. In order
to establish a rounded measure of giving behaviour across the world, the 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.

About us

Charities Aid Foundation [CAF] is a leading international charity registered in the United Kingdom, with
presence in nine countries covering six continents. Its mission is to motivate society to give ever more
effectively and help transform lives and communities around the world. We do this by working globally
to increase the flow of funds to the charity and non-profit sectors through the provision of philanthropy
advice and services.

 Key findings and conclusions
Giving is down across the globe

The CAF World Giving Index shows that there has been a global decrease in giving since the last report.
This follows a high point recorded by last years Index, in particular for helping a stranger. The proportion
of people across the world who reported donating money in 2016 when the research for this years
report was conducted is the lowest seen for three years.

Every Western country in the top 20 has a decreased score this year

New Zealand, the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Malta,
Iceland, Germany and Norway have each seen a decrease in their CAF World Giving Index score of
between one and five percentage points. Scores for the continents of Europe, Asia and Oceania are lower
than their five-year averages, whilst Asia specifically has seen a decline in all three giving behaviours.

Africa is the only continent to see an increase in all three giving behaviours

Last years report found that giving habits in Africa had recorded a positive shift after several years of
little change. Africa has this year gone against the global downward trend and is the only continent to see
an increase in all three giving behaviours when compared to its five-year average score.

For the fourth year running Myanmar tops the CAF World Giving Index

The high proportion of people donating money in Myanmar once again ensures its place at the top of
the rankings. This is likely due to the prevalence of small, frequent acts of giving in support of those living
a monastic lifestyle. However, Myanmars score is five percentage points lower than last year, when we
reported its highest ever score. We hypothesised that this high score may have been driven by a sense of
optimism ahead of the countrys first openly contested election for 25 years3. In late 2015, the National
League for Democracy swept to power with Aung San Suu Kyi sworn in as the countrys de facto leader
after two decades of house arrest. However, transition from military dictatorship to civilian government is
proving extremely difficult. Conflict escalated in Myanmar during 2016, with allegations of serious human
rights abuses against the countrys displaced Rohingya Muslims being levelled by the United Nations and
other agencies.

Laying the Groundwork for Global Giving
The CAF World Giving Index offers a unique glimpse of global trends in generosity. It enables
us to provide answers to questions about where people are most likely to engage in pro social
activities and to champion the growth of global giving. However, it does not tell us what factors
are driving the growth in generosity, nor does it highlight the barriers which need to be removed
to unleash it, nor does it aim to.

A new initiative by CAF, The Groundwork for Global Giving campaign seeks to highlight the
potential for fast growing emerging economies to drive a golden age of generosity and deliver
a sustainable development which works for all. Learning from the message of the CAF World
Giving Index, the campaign seeks to create an inclusive culture of generosity and envisions a
world where everyone gives. With as many as 2.4 billion people set to join the worlds middle
classes by 2030, it is crucial that we ensure that the groundwork is put in place to support and
encourage a mass engagement in giving.4 We estimate that if the worlds middle classes were
to give just 0.5% of their spending less than the average UK household gives and about the
same as people in the Republic of Korea that could amount to $319 billion in resources for civil
society organisations annually in 20305.

To achieve this, we are calling for governments to;

n make sure that civil society organisations are regulated in a fair, consistent and open way
n make it easy for people to give and offer incentives for giving where possible
promote
n  civil society as an independent voice in public life and respect the right of
not-for-profit organisations to speak out on important issues

International funders to;

n  rovide funding for organisations which provide support to donors and civil society
p
organisations to build infrastructure that can continue to generate funds for civil society even
after aid ends
fund
n  local organisations directly to improve the accountability and efficiency of aid
n recognise the importance of helping grantees to build sustainable domestic support and
fund accordingly

Civil society organisations to;

n e nsure good governance and be honest about impact to build public trust in civil
society organisations
n meaningfully engage local communities in decision making so civil society becomes
locally owned
n recognise and build on traditional forms of giving to create organisations and a culture of
giving which works to the strengths of the local context

 1 Global view
1.1 The CAF World Giving Index Top 20

For the fourth year in a row, Myanmar is ranked first in the CAF World Giving Index. Its average score over
the past five years is also the highest of all countries surveyed.

Although it has retained its top ranking, Myanmars score is five percentage points lower than last years
report slipping from 70% back down to 65%, in line with its score in 2013 and 2014. This lower score is
generated by fewer people claiming to have helped a stranger or volunteered their time in the month
prior to interview. The proportion of people in Myanmar who donated money is unchanged since last
year at 91%.

Since Myanmar first topped the rankings in 2014, we have pointed out that the country has certain
characteristics which have helped it achieve this status as number one in the World Giving Index.
Anywhere from 80%6 to 90%7 of people in Myanmar are practising Buddhists with as many as 99%8
of those following the Theravada branch of the religion. In Theravada Buddhism, followers donate to
support those living a monastic lifestyle a practice known as Sangha Dana. Giving in this way carries
significant religious meaning and small, frequent acts of giving are the norm.

By topping the World Giving Index Myanmar will again receive a lot of attention, not least because as
a country classified by the World Bank as Lower Middle Income, it confounds traditional assumptions
about the association between wealth and generosity. Inevitably, such an achievement will be contrasted
with reports about the ongoing suffering and contested rights of the Rohingya people. At this point, it is
important to remember that the World Giving Index measures only the charitable activities of the general
population within a country, and does not take wider issues affecting society into account. As such, we
make no attempt to rationalise negative or mitigating factors in the World Giving Index.

The United States has slipped down the rankings to fifth place, its lowest ranking since 2011, and is
replaced by Indonesia in second place, which is up by four percentage points.

A five percentage point decrease in the USAs overall score is driven by lower levels of donating money
(down seven percentage points to 56%) and volunteering time (down five percentage points to 41%). It
should be noted that the survey in the USA was conducted in June/July, prior to the election of President
Donald Trump.

In third place on the World Giving Index is Kenya, one of this years most improved countries.
Kenyas World Giving Index score has increased eight percentage points from 52% to 60%, driven by
improvements across each of the three giving behaviours.

After improving its score year-on-year between 2012 and 2015, Australia has now dropped out of the top
5 countries. It has seen a ten percentage point decrease in the proportion of people donating money.
New Zealand remains in fourth place but its score has decreased by two percentage points.

Fourteen countries feature in both this and last years top 20. Of the six no longer appearing, two were
not surveyed during 2016 (Sri Lanka and Bhutan). Four of the surveyed countries therefore dropped out of
the top 20 this year.

Having appeared in the top 20 for the first time last year, Uzbekistan now drops to 40th place, despite
the country being surveyed during Ramadan, a time when Muslims are typically encouraged to give. This
may, at least in part, be linked to the death of Uzbekistans leader Islam Karimov in Autumn 2016.

The World Giving Index often confounds assumptions about the link between wealth and generosity
and this year only six members of the G20 appear in the list of top 20 countries. Of these six, (Indonesia,
USA, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany) four of the very wealthiest nations have seen a
decrease in score this year (United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom).

 Table 2 ranks the countries with the highest average scores over the past five years, and compares this
five-year average to their score in this years Index.

Most of the top 20 countries by five-year score featured in the same list last year, and many appear in the
top 20 overall in this years Index. This suggests that, for many of these countries, giving behaviours are
entrenched and relatively stable.

The upwards momentum for the top 20 seen last year has largely ended this year. In this years report
only three countries (Indonesia, Kenya and Myanmar) recorded a one-year World Giving Index score
higher than their five-year average. Last year, 11 countries were in this position.

Although both Indonesia and Kenya see a similar level of improvement against their five-year scores,
each is driven by a different giving behaviour. Whereas Kenyas score is driven by helping a stranger,
Indonesias score is driven by donating money.

1.2 Global trends across behaviours

After a high point for all three charitable activities last year, the 2017 CAF World Giving Index shows
that the proportion of people across the globe engaging in helping a stranger, donating money or
volunteering decreased in 2016.

This is particularly the case for the activities helped a stranger and donated money, both down 1.8
percentage points against the previous year, whereas volunteering time fell by 0.8 percentage points.
The proportion who said that they donated money in the month prior to interview now stands at its
lowest level since 2013.

Amongst the countries surveyed in 2016, 52 countries saw an increase in the proportion of people helping
a stranger and three saw no change, whilst 80 saw a decrease. The biggest movers downwards are found
mainly in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. Bangladesh registers the biggest decrease, falling from 56%
to 34%, its lowest score for helping a stranger since the first World Giving Index report in 2010. Vietnam
follows closely behind with a decrease from 55% to 37%, its lowest score for this measure since 2011.

Data represents one-year scores for each year from 2012 to 2016. Each one-year score is derived from the average of all the
countries surveyed in that year.

Data relate to participation in giving behaviours during one month prior to interview.

GDP data is sourced from the International Monetary Funds World Economic Outlook database. Data is given in terms of constant
year-on-year prices.

 The charitable activity that people in developed countries are most likely to engage in is donating money
(40%) whereas those in developing countries are most likely to help a stranger (52%). Volunteering time
achieves similar participation levels across both the developed (23%) and developing (21%) nations, but is
less common in transitional economies (15%).

The decline in participation at the global level is seen across the three different economy types.
Transitional economies registered the only positive change for any measure, with a 0.3 percentage point
increase in the proportion of people who donated money.

The reduced participation in helping a stranger is marked in both developing and developed economies,
whilst donating money sees the biggest decrease in the most developed countries.

Mauritania records the biggest decrease in donating money, down 23 percentage points to a
participation rate of just 6%. Vietnam again sees the second largest drop (a 17 percentage point decline
from 34% to 17%).

Bosnia and Herzegovina enjoys the largest increase in both the proportions donating money (19
percentage point increase) and helping a stranger (18 percentage point increase).

 2 Three giving behaviours
2.1 Helping a stranger

2.1.1 Top 10 countries for helping a stranger, by participation and population

Table 3 shows the countries with the highest proportion of people participating in helping a stranger, and
Table 4 shows the countries with the highest number of people doing so.

This year, Iraq has lost its top ranking to Sierra Leone, which experienced an eight percentage point
increase in partipcation during 2016. 81% of people in Sierra Leone reported that they had helped a
stranger in the month prior to interview.

Sierra Leone, one of the least developed countries in the world, has seen a steady improvement in its score
for helping a stranger since 2013, when 63% of the population participated in this way. The ebola crisis
of 2014, a decline in iron ore prices, and the subsequent economic contraction in 2015, do not appear
to have dampened the spirit of giving in this country. Sierra Leone is one of this years most improved
countries, driven by an increase in all three activites but particularly volunteering time.

Iraq now places second, having seen an improvement of 36 percentage points since 2012, the largest
increase on this measure for any country over the same time period.

The countries comprising the top 10 by number of people remains largely unchanged due to the size of
the populations in these countries. Once again, the United States is the only country populous enough,
and with high enough participation levels, to appear in both lists.

In the top 10 by number of people, Russia is replaced by Germany, now ranked in ninth place after slipping
out of the top 10 last year. The number of Germans helping a stranger in 2015 was 38.5 million, rising to
40.8 million in 2016.

Bangladesh, despite the steep drop in the proportion of people who say that they helped a stranger,
nonetheless remains in the top 10 by number of people. However, participation has dropped considerably
and is down from 64 million in 2015 to 38 million in 2016 and it now sits in 10th place.

2.1.2 Helping a stranger and gender

Both men and women were less likely to help a stranger during 2016. The gap between the genders has
continued to widen slightly with men now ahead of women by four percentage points when it comes to
helping a stranger, compared to the gap of 2.7 percentage points seen in 2012.

Countries where participation rates are equal between the genders are as diverse as Guinea, Switzerland,
Venezuela and Afghanistan. The largest differential overall, however, is found in Tanzania, where 62% of
men helped a stranger compared to 44% of women.

Amongst those countries where more women than men reported helping a stranger, Moldova recorded the
biggest differential (thirteen percentage points difference), followed by Sweden and Taiwan (both with an
eleven percentage points difference).

2.1.3 Helping a stranger and age

Although each age group has an improved score compared to five years ago, the significant bounce seen
in 2015 may prove to have been temporary, with 2016 scores across the age groups returning to
pre 2015 levels.

Whilst the decline in helping a stranger is seen across each age group, it is the over 50s who have
experienced the sharpest drop, after having seen the biggest increase last year and now returning to
pre 2013 levels.

Whilst fewer 15 29 year olds reported helping a stranger in 2016, this group has nonetheless retained
more of its 2014 to 2015 increase than the other age groups. Over time too, the 15 29 year olds record
the biggest improvement showing an increase of 2.9 percentage points since 2012.

Countries where the over 50s are significantly more likely to help a stranger than 15 29 year olds include
the Latin American countries of Ecuador, Costa Rica and Honduras.

 2.2 Donating money to a charity

2.2.1 Top 10 countries for donating money, by participation and population

Table 5 shows the highest ranked countries in terms of the proportion of people who donated money
to charity in the last month, and Table 6 shows the countries with the largest actual number of people
donating money to charity.

For the fifth year running, Myanmar ranks in first place, matching its 2015 participation rate of 91%
(equivalent to 34 million individuals). Indonesia is again ranked in second place, but Australia slips down
from third to ninth place, recording a ten percentage point drop in participation.

Ireland drops out of the top 10 countries for donating money for the first time, recording a participation
rate of 60%, down from 66% in 2015. Having made its first appearance in the top 10 last year, Norway
also slips down to 15th place, its score decreasing from 67% to 55%.

Canada however returns to the top 10 in this years report although it records its lowest ever participation
rate of 61%, a drop of four percentage points. Thailand also returns to the top 10 with a five percentage
point improvement on its previous score.

Morocco takes last place for donating money, ranking 139th in the world on this measure. Participation
in Morocco has been low since the Index began and it now has a participation rate of just 2%, and one
which is also declining, recording a significant drop since its 2012 score of 6%.

Due to its population size, China has one of the highest numbers of people reporting that they have
donated money. However, it still has one of the lowest participation rates in the world at just 8%.

By number of people, Brazil has been replaced in the top 10 by Japan, which now is in 8th place. In 2016,
nearly one in three Japanese people donated money in the month prior to interview, up from just over
one in five during the previous year.

2.2.2 Donating money and gender

Last years Index found little difference between genders when it came to donating money to charities.
However this year, after a year of gender parity at the global level, men were slightly more likely than
women to have donated money during 2016. The gap remains narrower than it was in 2012 when it
was 0.9 percentage points compared to 0.4 percentage points in this years Index.

Some countries do see more women donating than men, with the top 5, in order: Denmark, Sweden,
New Zealand, Norway and Australia. In each case, women give significantly more than men. The
Scandinavian countries in particular are known for high levels of gender equality, and Denmark,
Sweden and Norway rank second, fourth and sixth place respectively in the UNs Gender Inequality
Index9. Efforts to improve gender equality across the globe are therefore likely to increase the
proportion of women donating money.

2.2.3 Donating money and age

Since its inception, the CAF World Giving Index has found that globally, the older we are, the more likely
we are to give via financial means. Once again, the over 50s were the group most likely to report having
donated money in the month prior to interview, although compared to last years report, fewer now say
that they have done so.

The drop off that we have seen since 2015 in donating money correlates to age, with the decrease most
pronounced amongst older audiences. For those aged 15-29, the decrease was 0.58%, rising to 2.18%
amongst those aged 50+.

In developed economies, the older two age groups report very similar levels of participation in donating
money. 43% of those aged 50+ and 42% of those aged 30 - 49 participated in this way, compared to 31%
of their younger counterparts aged 15 - 29.

In transitional economies, around a quarter of all age groups reported donating money and, as with
the developed countries, the youngest age group reported the lowest participation rate (24% of 15 29
year olds compared to 27% for both 30 49 year olds and those aged 50+). A very similar pattern is seen
across the developing world where an average of 25% of 15-29 year olds reported that they
donated money.

 2.3 Volunteering time

2.3.1 Top 10 countries for volunteering time, by participation and population

Table 7 shows the highest ranked countries in terms of the proportion of people who volunteer, whilst
Table 8 shows the ten countries with the highest number of individuals volunteering.

Indonesia takes first place for volunteering time with a score of 55%, up from 50% in 2015. Kenya moves
up from eighth to second place with a score of 51%, up by nine percentage points from 42%.

The countries returning to the top 10 this year are Liberia, Tajikistan and Sierra Leone, whilst Mauritius
and Australia make their first ever appearances in the list.

Liberia, Tajikistan and Sierra Leone are also three of the most improved countries on the World Giving
Index this year. This overall improvement in the Index score in each case is at least partly driven by
an increased score for volunteering time Tajikistan in particular enjoys a 25 percentage point rise in
volunteering time.

New Zealand and the United States, whilst both remaining in the top 10, have seen their scores decrease
by three percentage points and five percentage points respectively. The Philippines, Honduras and Ireland
all drop out of the top 10 this year.

At the other end of the table, Armenia, Bulgaria and Latvia report the lowest levels of volunteering in the
world; Armenia with a participation rate of just 4%, followed by Bulgaria and Latvia on 5% each.

The top 10 by number of people remains largely unchanged, with the exception of France, which replaces
Germany in tenth place. By the number of people volunteering, India remains in first place due to its large
overall population. The proportion of Indians volunteering in 2016 increased by six percentage points
from the previous year, equating to 56 million more people participating in this way.

Although the United States ranks in second place, 14 million fewer Americans volunteered their time in
2016. Indeed, of the top 10, only the United States, the Philippines, and Myanmar record fewer people
volunteering in 2016 than in the previous year, with the remaining seven having seen increases.

2.3.2 Volunteering time and gender

At a global level, both men and women are volunteering less, with participation levels having decreased
by just under one percentage point each.

In the developed world, men and women are equally likely to volunteer with 23% of both genders having
reported doing so in 2016. In developing countries, men reported similar levels of volunteering (24%),
but women were less likely than their counterparts in the developed world to do so (18%). In transitional
economies, which report the lowest levels of volunteering generally, 17% of men have volunteered,
compared to 14% of women.

Liberia and Afghanistan see the biggest differential between men and women reporting that they have
volunteered time, with men much more likely to do so than women with a 19 percentage point gap
between the genders in both countries.

2.3.3 Volunteering time and age

At the global level, the overall decrease in volunteering is driven by the 30 49 year old age group. Just
as they drove the improved overall score in 2015, so correspondingly, they register the largest decrease in
score during 2016, taking the global score to 20.8% overall.

The worlds 15 29 year olds have maintained a constant level of participation in volunteering since 2013
and are the only age group not to see at least some decline in score during 2016.

Developing countries see greater consistency across age cohorts where on average, 15 29 year olds
(21%), 30 49 year olds (22%) and those aged 50+ (21%) participate in volunteering at the same level.

 3 Continental comparisons
3.1 Continental CAF World Giving Index scores

Figure 9 contrasts this years CAF World Giving Index score for each continent, with the average score
over the past five years, in order to highlight any long-term trends.

During 2016, every continent scored lower than the previous year, with the exception of Africa which saw
no change. Not only is Africa the only continent which did not see a decline in its one year score, but it has
also recorded a 2016 score higher than its five year average the only continent to achieve this.

The longer-term trend gives a slightly more positive outlook. The five-year average scores for Europe, Asia
and Africa have all increased by one-percentage point. The five-year scores for Oceania and the Americas
are unchanged.

The overall World Giving Index score for New Zealand dropped from 59% to 57%, whilst Australias score
decreased from 60% to 56%. However, although this has resulted in a three percentage point decrease in
the overall score for Oceania year on year, it has not dented the lead the continent enjoys, which remains
the most generous by a very wide margin. It should however be noted that in the World Giving Index,
Oceania is comprised solely of Australia and New Zealand. It is unclear how Oceanias overall score would
be affected if other countries were included in the continents score.

 3.2 Continental giving behaviour scores

Across the continents, helping a stranger is the most common way of giving. As was the case during 2015,
the Americas and Africa both have a one-year score higher than their five-year averages, suggesting a
positive longer term increase for this measure.

Although Africa sees the lowest score for donating money, it is the only continent to have seen an
increase in participation for this way of giving compared to its five-year average. In fact, Africa is the
only continent to see an improvement across all three giving behaviours when compared to its five-year
scores. Africas scores for helping a stranger and volunteering time are two percentage points higher than
its five-year average, whilst its one-year score for donating money is one percentage point higher than its
five year average.

Asia has seen a decline in all three giving behaviours since 2015. Participation by helping a stranger has
decreased from 51% to 47%, donating money from 37% to 33% and volunteering time from 23% to 21%.

The fall in Oceanias score is driven by a significant decrease in donating money, from 72% in 2015 to
64% in 2016, which now stands four percentage points below its five-year average. In Europe, the longer
term trend is flat, with no differences between its one-year and its five-year score on any measure.

 4 Most improved countries
4.1 Most improved for 2017

In line with the general decline in scores across the globe, there are far fewer countries which count as
improved in this years Index (improved is defined as a 2016 score at least five percentage points higher
than its 2015 score). Just 13 countries now meet this criterion, down from 23 countries last year.

Amongst the 13 most improved countries this year are two countries born of the former Yugoslavia
(Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia), eight African countries (Ghana, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Kenya,
Liberia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Tunisia), two Latin American countries (Ecuador and Honduras) and
the Central Asian country of Tajikistan.

Ecuador is the only country to feature in the most improved lists for both 2015 and 2016. It increased its
CAF World Giving Index score by seven percentage points between 2014 and 2015, and again by nine
percentage points between 2015 and 2016. This is however likely to have been somewhat driven by the
response to the earthquake which hit the country in April 2016. As we have seen in earlier editions of the
CAF World Giving Index, globally we are incredibly responsive at times of adversity such as
natural disasters.

4.2 Most improved over time

Figure 12 shows all countries which meet the criterion for improvement over time (a score at least five
percentage points higher than its five-year average). As with the most improved countries for CAF World
Giving Index 2017, there are also 13 countries most improved over time.

Using this longer-term view, Ecuador shows the biggest increase in score of any country, its 2016 score
sitting ten percentage points higher than its five-year average. Interviewing in Ecuador took place just
a few weeks after the devastating earthquake of April 2016 in which 676 people were killed and 16,000
injured10. In the months after the earthquake, the country experienced a twelvefold increase in cases of
the Zika virus, with the biggest increase in cases in the quake-hit regions11.

Greece, sitting at the bottom of the list of countries most improved over time, enjoys its highest CAF
World Giving Index score since the surveys inception in 2010. The improvement is driven by an increased
proportion of people helping a stranger, up by ten percentage points on 2015. Volunteering also
increased from 8% to 11%.

 Across the countries most improved over time, an increase in each of the giving behaviours has
contributed to the improvement. Helping a stranger increased by nine percentage points, followed by
donating money (seven percentage point increase) and volunteering time (six percentage point increase).

Although the average 2016 score for donating money (32%) is seven percentage points higher than the
five year average, it is lower than the 2015 score amongst most improved countries which stood at 37%.

Countries scores indicate a rise or fall in score of 3 percentage points or more

since the 2015 survey.

Scores have increased by at least three percentage points.

Scores have decreased by at least three percentage points.
Scores in plain text have seen a change of less than three percentage
points either way, or were not surveyed in 2015.

Only includes countries surveyed in 2016.

CAF World Giving Index scores are shown to the nearest whole number but
the rankings are determined using two decimal points.

 6 Methodology

This report is primarily based upon data from Gallups World View World Poll,12which is an ongoing
research project carried out in 139 countries in 2016 that together represent around 95% of the worlds
population (around 5.2 billion people).13The survey asks questions on many different aspects of life today
including giving behaviour. The countries surveyed and questions asked in each region varies from year to
year and is determined by Gallup. More detail on Gallups methodology can be
viewed online.14

In most countries surveyed, 1,000 questionnaires are completed by a representative sample of individuals
living across the country. The coverage area is the entire country including rural areas. The sampling
frame represents the entire civilian, non-institutionalised, aged 15 and older population of the entire
country. In some bigger countries, larger samples are collected (e.g. 4,373 interviews in China; 2,000
in Russia), while in a small number of countries, the poll covers 500 to 1,000 people but still features a
representative sample. The survey is not conducted in a limited number of instances including where
the safety of interviewing staff is threatened, scarcely populated islands in some countries, and areas
that interviewers can reach only by foot, animal or small boat. In all, more than 146,000 people were
interviewed by Gallup in 2016 and samples are probability-based. Surveys are carried out by telephone or
face-to-face depending on the countrys telephone coverage.

There is of course a margin of error (the amount of random sampling error) in the results for each country,
which is calculated by Gallup around a proportion at the 95% confidence level (the level of confidence
that the results are a true reflection of the whole population). The maximum margin of error is calculated
assuming a reported percentage of 50% and takes into account the design effect.

Calculation of CAF World Giving Index ranking

The percentages shown in the Index and within this publication are all rounded to the nearest whole
number or to one decimal place. In reality though, for the analysis by CAF, the percentage scores are to
two decimal places.

Due to rounding therefore, there are some occasions in the ranking of countries where two or more
countries appear to have the same percentage, but are not placed equally. This is because there is a
small amount of difference in the numbers to two decimal places. This also affects the calculation of
percentage point change across years, which is based on the actual figure to decimal places, rather than
the rounded number displayed.
