Retrieved 2026-10-25. Each series uses its latest non-empty observation in 2020–2025; the years can differ. National averages may hide differences by region, wealth, gender, disability or other circumstances. These figures do not measure charitable funding or unmet need.
Build an accountable local profile
- Invite local coauthors to define priorities and correct the framing.
- Compare national figures with local statistical publications and community-led evidence.
- Map public, philanthropic and informal resources separately. Record dates, coverage and unknown amounts.
- Ask who decides, whose experience is missing and how people can safely challenge the work.
- Publish disagreements and source limits alongside the narrative. Obtain independent review.

Where work may act
For a water question, for example, emergency supply can provide relief; infrastructure repairs can restore service; maintenance and treatment can prevent interruptions; utility rules and accountability can change structures; and coordination or shared information may address a proposed source. This is an illustrative way to ask questions, not a classification of this country or a claim that one depth is superior.
Country and economy names follow the data source. Their inclusion does not imply a position on sovereignty or borders.
