in this page is an interactive database system. This has been prepared
using DevInfo Software provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund.
This interactive Database system has several databases. A brief
description of the data bases are given below.
1. MDGInfo Sri Lanka - 2006
There
are 8 MDG goals with 18 targets. The implementation of the MDGs can be monitored
in quantitative terms and much of the attention given to the MDGs comes from the
power of quantification. For a regular monitoring of MDG at world level, there
is a framework of 48 indicators. These 48 indicators are being used to report
the status of implementation of MDGs at global level. From regular statistical
activities, Department of Census and Statistics compiles 23 MDG indicators. This
database aims to provide easy, user-friendly access to data on the 23 MDG
indicators disaggregated by sex, sector and district that have already been
released by the Department. This database can be used to query the data and
present information in a user-friendly way through graphs, tables and maps.
2. Basic need indicators at (GN level)
The GN
divisions of Sri Lanka were classified according to an indicator on Unsatisfied
Basic Needs, which is called Unsatisfied Basic Needs Index. This is a proxy
indicator for poverty and this index was derived by combining several indicators
related to poverty. The Data used for the classification and the values of the
UBNI are given in the databases. Databases have been organized by district.
