Analyzes the generation and use of human capacity for a specific country in relation to other countries or regions. This tool presents detailed information and graphics for one country, including a table and a set of customizable radial graphs. The radial graphs allow for trends over time or for comparisons between countries to be simultaneously visualized along five dimensions. Select this tool for detailed information and graphics about one country.
* Rapid Assessment Summary Scores
A summary of the generation and use of human capacity scores for one or more countries. Group average may be customized by selecting specific categories. This tool is intended for cross-country and time-series comparisons of scores.

* Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
Presents data on two education-related monitoring indicators and tracks country status versus the goals.
