The Fraser Institute is proud to partner with a network of organizations across North America in promoting our Economic Freedom of North America (EFNA) report in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Our EFNA Network partners co-publish the report, host EFNA-related events, use the report in their own research and publications, cite the report in legislative testimony, and disseminate the report to policymakers and media outlets in their states and regions. Launched in 2014 with 10 partners in nine US states and Canada, the EFNA Network now comprises 63 full partners in 47 US states/territories, Canada and Mexico. To learn more about economic freedom in the US, click here. If your organization is interested in joining the EFNA Network, please contact us at [email protected].
