Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2015 Release

The Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2015 Release, are produced in support of the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation as selection criteria for funding eligibility. These indicators are successors to the Natural Resource Management Index (NRMI), which was produced from 2006 to 2011 and was based on the same underlying data. Like the NRMI, 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 221 countries and is calculated based on the weighted average percentage of biomes under protected status. The CHI is a composite index for 188 countries derived from the average of three proximity-to-target scores for access to improved sanitation, access to improved water, and child mortality. The 2015 release includes a consistent time series of NRPIs and CHIs for 2010 to 2015.

《自然资源保护与儿童健康指标，2015年版》系为美国千年挑战公司提供资金资格选择标准而编制，旨在支持该公司的相关工作。本指标集继《自然资源管理指数》（NRMI）之后诞生，该指数自2006年至2011年间编制，并基于相同的数据基础。与NRMI相似，自然资源保护指标（NRPI）和儿童健康指标（CHI）均基于目标接近度评分，评分范围为0至100（目标值为100）。NRPI涵盖了221个国家，其计算基于受保护生境的加权平均百分比。CHI是一个由188个国家构成的复合指数，该指数通过三个接近度评分的平均值得出，这三个评分分别涉及改善卫生条件、改善水源获取和儿童死亡率。2015年版包含了一致的NRPI和CHI时间序列数据，时间范围为2010年至2015年。
