The Global Development Potential Indices data set consists of 78 GeoTIFF files in 13 zipfiles. The data were originally produced in Mollweide projection. We reprojected the data and offer them here in Geographic projection as well. Users should be aware that some spatial uncertainty is introduced in the reprojection process, and the zipfiles do not contain criteria sensitivity reports and input parameters.
