2014 IIAG: COUNTRY PROFILES
55
The 2014 IIAG covers a 14-year data period from 2000 to 2013. The full data set, all of the underlying raw data used in the computation of the IIAG and normalised scores, as calculated for the expressed purposes of the IIAG, are available online at: www.moibrahimfoundation.org/iiag-downloads/.
All figures are displayed to one decimal place within this report. For this reason, countries may appear to have the same score, or the same change over time, but do not when decimal places are taken into account. This is also why countries may appear to have a change over time of -/+0.0. Countries have been ranked and trends have been described based on the numbers to full precision, not the rounded numbers.
Analysis of trends over time (improvements and deteriorations) take into consideration a five-year period: 2009-2013.
Following the secession of South Sudan in 2011, Sudan was, for the first time, excluded from the IIAG. Once comprehensive data are available for South Sudan and Sudan both countries will be included in the IIAG.
Somalia has no underlying raw data for all indicators in the Rural Sector sub-category and therefore is not given a score or rank. These cases are indicated with a “.”.
Additional Country Information provided on the Country Profile pages are not used in the calculation of the IIAG. Head of State/Government and REC memberships are correct as of 29 July 2014.
