ASSESSMENT--AFRICA

FIGURE 1.5: Animation. Here the reader is taken through an entire sequence of steps for extracting data for a single indicator and making a map from it. The map is exported to ArcView .apr format to be opened in the next stage in ArcView 3.x. Repeat this process for each indicator for which there is data.

RESULTANT FILES:

Maternal mortality ratio, raw .apr
Prevalence of underweight (moderate and severe)--Percent, Total < 5 yr., raw .apr
Primary Completion Rate, Rate, Total, raw .apr
Proportion of 1 year-old children immunised against measles, Percent, Total 1 yr., raw .apr
Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel, Percent, Total, raw .apr
Proportion of population with access to improved sanitation, Percent, Total, raw .apr
Proportion of population with sustainable access to an improved water source, Percent, Total, raw .apr
Under-five mortality rate, Deaths per 1000 live births, Total, raw .apr
