Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2021 Release

The Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2021 Release, is produced in support of the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) 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 135 countries and is calculated based on the weighted average percentage of biomes under protected status. The CHI is a composite index for 194 countries derived from the average of three proximity-to-target scores for access to at least basic water and sanitation, along with child mortality. The 2021 release includes a consistent time series of NRPI scores for 2017 to 2021 and CHI scores for 2010 to 2020.
To assist in the country selection process for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) by providing indicators of natural resource protection and child health that complement the governance, social, and economic indicators used by MCC as country selection criteria.

《2021年版自然资源保护与儿童健康指标集》是为支持美国千年挑战公司（Millennium Challenge Corporation, MCC）制定资助资格遴选标准而编制的数据集。其中，自然资源保护指标（Natural Resource Protection Indicator, NRPI）与儿童健康指标（Child Health Indicator, CHI）均基于0至100分的目标接近度评分（达到目标时得分为100）。NRPI涵盖135个国家，其计算基于受保护生物群落占比的加权平均值。CHI是覆盖194个国家的综合指数，由至少获取基本饮用水与卫生设施服务的目标接近度评分，以及儿童死亡率这三项指标的平均值推导得出。2021年版包含了2017至2021年NRPI评分的一致性时间序列，以及2010至2020年CHI评分的一致性时间序列。
本数据集旨在助力美国千年挑战公司（MCC）的国家遴选流程，通过补充该机构用于国家遴选标准的治理、社会与经济指标，提供自然资源保护与儿童健康相关的评价指标。
