Countries

[1] The overall score is the simple average of the four pillars, or three pillars in the countries where RISE does not measure clean cooking, where the score is “not applicable (N/A)”. In the countries where RISE does not measure electricity access, the countries receive a score of 100. Future RISE publications will review the scoring methodology.
