01In brief

The short answer.

Society and Human Development country applications are the national parts of its work on society and human development, each linked to a national programme and the national source register. A country page shows only work that a programme record supports, and the national institutions own the question, the data and the decision.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Country applications: the policy cycleA problem reaches the agenda, options are formulated and appraised, consultation tests them, the mandate holder decides, implementation and monitoring follow, and evaluation feeds the next agenda. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

People and exposure in Latin America and the Caribbean.

For country applications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, true-colour imagery and night lights with place names and borders from NASA GIBS, framed on Latin America and the Caribbean; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.
