Description
Atlas Network’s Economic Freedom Audit Fund supports partner organizations in producing country-specific assessments of economic freedom and identifying practical opportunities for policy reform. Audits use the Economic Freedom of the World framework to compare a country’s performance across 42 dimensions with regional, global, and top-performing peers.
Selected organizations receive virtual mentorship from a Fraser Institute expert on methodology, data interpretation, analysis, drafting, and policy recommendations. The work culminates in an audit and a final report intended to inform policymakers and public discussion while fostering locally developed reform ideas.
