Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2013 Release

The Natural Resource Protection and Child Health Indicators, 2013 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 2013 release includes a consistent time series of NRPIs and CHIs for 2006 to 2013.

《自然资源保护与儿童健康指标集》，2013版，系为支持美国千年挑战公司（Millennium Challenge Corporation）筛选资金资格的选标依据而编制。本指标集为《自然资源管理指数》（Natural Resource Management Index, NRMI）的后续版本，后者自2006年至2011年间编制，并基于相同的基础数据。与NRMI类似，自然资源保护指标（Natural Resource Protection Indicator, NRPI）与儿童健康指标（Child Health Indicator, CHI）均基于目标接近度评分，评分范围从0至100（目标值为100）。NRPI涵盖221个国家，其计算基于受保护生态系统的加权平均百分比。CHI是由188个国家的三个目标接近度评分的平均值构成的复合指数，这三个评分分别针对改善型卫生设施的可及性、改善型水源的可及性以及儿童死亡率。2013版包含了2006年至2013年间NRPI与CHI的一致时间序列数据。
