Around the world, 4.2 billion people helped someone they didn\u2019t know, volunteered time or donated money to a good cause according to the Charities Aid Foundation<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0World Giving Index 2023.<\/p>\n

For the sixth year in a row, the world\u2019s most generous country is Indonesia. The second most generous country in the world is Ukraine, which is also the Index\u2019s biggest riser this year, increasing its score after ranking tenth last year. Only three of the top 10 countries are among the world\u2019s largest economies (Indonesia, United States, and Canada), while one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world \u2013 Liberia \u2013 is ranked in fourth highest place.<\/p>\n

The CAF World Giving Index is one of the biggest surveys on giving ever produced, with millions of people interviewed around the world since 2009. This year\u2019s Index includes data from 142 countries where people were asked three questions: have they helped a stranger, given money or volunteered for a good cause over the past month. As CAF official partner at Brazil, IDIS \u2013 Institute for the Development of Social Investment is promoting and analysing the national data.<\/p>\n

After being among the 20 most generous nations in the ranking, Brazil fell to position 89. There was a drop in all indicators, the most pronounced being donations to NGOs, which went from 41% to 26%. Helping strangers was practiced by 64% of respondents in 2022, also less than the 76% found on the previous year. Volunteering fell from 25% in 2021 to 21%. The average score stood at 37%. Although Brazil had better positions in the ranking in previous years, this was the country’s second highest score since the index’s launch in 2009.<\/p>\n

According to Paula Fabiani, CEO of IDIS, “The previous edition still reflected the impacts of the pandemic, when generosity was on the rise and the forms of participation, whether through donations or volunteering, were more evident. The drop in the coverage of these issues in the media, added to the impoverishment of the population and the climate of uncertainty and distrust common in election periods, contributed to a decrease in the population’s participation in the practice of donation”<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Fabiani considers that in the period there were also important movements in other countries, especially regarding the increase in donations, which led them to gain better positions.<\/span><\/p>\n
