The Capacity to Combat Corruption (CCC) Index

In 2019, the Americas Society/Council of the Americas (AS/COA) and Control Risks, the consulting firm specializing in global risks, present the publication of the Anti-Corruption Capacity Index (CCC), an analytical tool based on data to assess the ability of Latin American countries to uncover, punish, and stop corruption. "The Index shows in detail how the anti-corruption wave that was advancing in Latin America a few years ago has lost steam and, in some places, is receding dangerously. What is even more worrying: this is happening while COVID-19 is increasing the risk of corruption throughout the region," said Roberto Simón, senior director of public policy at AS/COA.

Social Inclusion Index

AQ's annual Social Inclusion Index, which was published between 2012 and 2016, evaluated 17 countries on across 21 variables including access to public and private goods, popular attitudes toward empowerment and government responsiveness, and the protection of basic civil, political, and human, and disability rights as well as access to justice. The Index tracked social inclusion within and across countries over the long-term, addressing the multiple dimensions of social inclusion. The 2014 Social Inclusion Index generated press coverage both in the U.S. and throughout Latin America.
