Description

The Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2023 Release, is produced in support of the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation as selection criteria for funding eligibility. The Natural Resource Protection Indicator (NRPI) and Child Health Indicator (CHI) are based on proximity-to-target scores ranging from 0 to 100 (at target). The NRPI covers 76 countries which are eligible for MCC funding and is using the 2022 Environmental Performance Index. The CHI is a composite index for 198 countries derived from the average of three proximity-to-target scores for at least basic access to water, at least basic access to sanitation, and child mortality rates. The 2023 release includes a consistent time series of NRPI scores for 2019 to 2022 and CHI scores for 2010 to 2022.
