CDI Dashboard (© CGDEV): Contents |
A all panes view: comparing countries
This view serves to give a quick comparison of several countries. United States scores 559 points for "Contribution to Development Index", or rank 7 among all 21 countries, which is considered "fair". For comparison: France scores 546 points (rank 10, "average"); Japan scores 283 points (rank 21, "very bad").
B all panes view: comparing the USA over time
This view gives a quick comparison of the USA over time. In 2003, the USA scored 556 points for the CDI, rank 7 among 21 countries. The same rank in 2004, but with 559 points. The right graph shows the gains and losses: A significant decrease on "Security" and a slight loss on "Migration" are compensated by gains in "Environment" and "Technology".
C all panes view: comparing the trend for several countries
What happened between 2003 and 2004? For the trend, France scores 766 points for "Commitment to Development Index", or rank 1 among all 21 countries, which is considered "good". For comparison: Denmark scores 448 points on rank 21.
D two-pane view
In this view, the panes are larger and show the full indicator names. See on the right the distribution view for the indicator "Commitment to Development Index". On the Y-axis, the number of points is shown, while the X-axis shows the respective rank. United States scores 559 points, or rank 7.
E analysis view
The analytical view consists of two small panes plus a large window for analysis, which may be a distribution, scatterplot, time series or map view. In this example, the all panes view of the index "Commitment to Development Index" is shown; Canada scores 618 points. In comparison, Italy arrives at 447 points (rank 15), which is considered "average" (rank 1: Netherlands, worst at rank 21: Japan; embedded mode, group: OECD).
F analysis view: matching the CGDEV methodology
The Dashboard uses a very straightforward way of calculating overall performance: The worst in the group gets 0 points, the best 1000, all others are linearly interpolated; the sum of points per indicator is being added up to provide the overall score. In order to get the best match to CGDEV's original rankings, weights had to be adjusted slightly. The resulting ranking is identical, the point scores differ only marginally.
G scatterplot
A simple scatterplot may reveal interesting insights. For example, how is "Aid" linked to other indicators, such as "Trade"? Click into the "recycling" icon to perform a systematic analysis of the linkages between all indicators. Here, France scores "average" for Aid (Y axis, 447 points) and "excellent" for Trade (X axis, 902 points; embedded mode, group: Europe).
