Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN)/Columbia University2010Natural Resource Management Index (NRMI), 2010 Release2010.00tabularPalisades, NYNASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC)http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/nrmi-natural-resource-management-index-2010The Natural Resource Management Index (NRMI), 2010 Release is a composite index for 157 countries derived from the average of four proximity-to-target indicators for eco-region protection (weighted average percentage of biomes under protected status), access to improved sanitation, access to improved water and child mortality. The 2010 release of the NRMI includes time series NRMIs for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Note that the NRMIs for 2006-2008 provided in this release are not directly comparable to those found in the 2006-2008 releases of the NRMI owing to changes in data and methods. The data set is produced and distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy (YCELP), Yale University.To assist in the country selection process for the Millennium Challenge Account by providing indicators of natural resource management that complements the governance, social, and economic indicators.20042010As needed-180.000000180.00000090.000000-55.000000GCMD Parameter ValidsEARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Ecological Dynamics > Community Dynamics > Biodiversity

For Access to Adequate Sanitation and Access to Improved Water, the proximity-to-target measure is equal to the reported percentage. For example, if a country has 84% of its population with access to adequate sanitation, it is considered to have a proximity-to-target score of 84 out of 100. For child mortality, we compute the ratio of the measured probability of dying to the highest observed probability of dying, which is 0.141, and multiply that by 100 to make it comparable to the 0-100 scale used in the other measures. The proximity-to-target measure is this number, which ranges from 0-100, subtracted from 100. For example, a country whose children in the 1-5 age group have a probability of dying of 0.004 would have a proximity-to-target score of 97.2 (0.004/0.1414=0.028; 0.028 x100=2.8; 100-2.8=97.2). For eco-region protection the proximity-to-target score is 10 times the weighted average of the biome protection scores, which are capped at 10% to correspond to the target. For example, a country with 7% of its ecoregion's protected areas would have a proximity-to-target score of 70. The 10% target was established by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in decision VII/30 as target 1.1 of the 2010 Targets, "At least 10% of each of the world's ecological regions effectively conserved". Further details on the ecoregion protection indicator data development can be found in a methodology document accessible from the data set web site (see "online linkage" section). The NRMI is the simple average of these four proximity-to-target scores. If a country is missing the child mortality or ecoregion protection data points, an NRMI is not calculated for it. If a country has one of the water and sanitation data points, but not the other, an NRMI is calculated on the basis of the one score.NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC)mailing and physical address
