• Countries with the lowest access to electricity: #6 on 2026-10-28 → #14 on 2026-10-28 (3 snapshots).

Where Guinea-Bissau ranks lowest

A guide that only listed wins would be misleading. Guinea-Bissau's lowest current positions are 50th of 50 in Countries with the highest employment-to-population ratios (63.08 %), 49th of 50 in Countries spending the largest share of GDP on health (8.82 % of GDP) and 49th of 50 in Countries with the highest cassava yields (11.37 tonnes per hectare). Whether a low position is good or bad depends on the metric: being near the bottom of an emissions or mortality ranking is the better place to be.

How to read these numbers

Each ranking measures one metric from one named source at one time, so a #3 in one table and a #3 in another are not directly comparable. Countries also report in different years: the capture date is when Top10Earth fetched the data, while the source's own year is stated on each ranking page under methodology. For a side-by-side with another country on the same measures, open any ranking and use the head-to-head links, or visit Guinea-Bissau's entity page for the live table and rank-history chart.

Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value. Each number is fetched from its source on a schedule, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails that gate the previous snapshot stays live and a person looks at why. Every past snapshot is kept, which is what makes the rank-history charts on each ranking page possible.
