In this section you can find: i) detailed information about the methodology on which the annual World Watch List (WWL) is based, and ii) the WWL country scores and ranks in recent years, along with supporting articles.
World Watch Research has been preparing an annual World Watch List since 1993, although initially focused on providing data for Open Doors’ program-planning. WWL Methodology has been steadily refined over the years. The WWL gives an overview of countries in which Christians face the most difficulties to live out their faith in a specific reporting period (currently: 1 October to 30 September). The annual table of country scores and ranks should be read in combination with the corresponding Top 50 Country Dossiers.
