The TLS and rating scheme were developed by World Bank sector specialists in consultation with some countries. Due to lack of data, many countries are missing scores for different indicators. The TLS is intended to serve as a starting point for discussion, and the indicators and ratings can be modified based on additional country-level information. Notes: Scores are based on 1 = nascent (the country includes areas that are only starting to or do not address the standard at all); 2 = emerging (the country partly meets the standard and has progressed beyond the initiation point but has not reached the final point); 3 = established (the country meets the standard entirely). All indicators are given equal weight and only those actions with available data are included in this summary graph.
