CTR = (highest #roles by one organization/total #roles performed) x private sector coverage
This is the ratio of the highest number of whistleblowing handling roles taken up by a single governmental actor, per the total number of roles performed in that nation, taking into account the scope of that the organization’s mandate.
As measure for civil society engagement, we use:
ENG = #roles by civil society organizations/total #possible roles
This is the ratio of the number of whistleblowing handling roles taken up by CSOs in a nation, by the total number of possible roles, which is 8 (cf. Loyens & Vandekerckhove, 2018a; 2018b). Table 2 gives an overview of the resulting measures.
