Measuring Quality and Characterizing Cuna Mas Home Visits
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2023-12-07T20:20:44.000ZThis dataset contains information on Programa Nacional Cuna Más (Cuna Mas, hereinafter), Peru’s largest early childhood development program established in 2012. It focuses on one of the two services provided by Cuna Mas known as Servicio de Acompanamiento a Familias (SAF), a home visiting program that operates in rural areas and provides one-hour weekly home visits to children aged 0-36 months and their caregiver. The objective of the study was to compare different instruments to measure the quality of home visiting programs. Between August and October 2015, three instruments were administered to a sample of 554 children enrolled in Cuna Mas and receiving home visits at the time of data collection, and on their 176 home visitors who regularly work with 80 supervisors. The following quality instruments were administered: • Home Visit Rating Scale, version A+2 (HOVRS; Roggman et al. 2010) • Home Visit Content and Characteristics Form (HVCCF; Boller et al. 2009) • A supervisor checklist The first two quality instruments are widely used among home visiting services in the United States. For each child in the sample, one home visit was filmed and the videos were later coded to create the scores, following the instruments’ manuals. The checklist, on the other hand, was designed based on record forms used by Cuna Mas and other home visiting programs in low- and middle- income countries, and was administered live during the visit by the home visitor’s supervisor. The final, multilevel dataset includes: • 554 visits with an identical number of distinct children • 176 home visitors • 80 supervisors • Methodology available at: <a href="https://idbg.sharepoint.com/teams/EZ-RG-ESW/RG-K1423/25%20Results%20Management/Publicaciones%20-%20Base%20de%20Datos/measuring-quality-and-characterizing-cuna-mas-home-visits.pdf">https://idbg.sharepoint.com/teams/EZ-RG-ESW/RG-K1423/25%20Results%20Management/Publicaciones%20-%20Base%20de%20Datos/measuring-quality-and-characterizing-cuna-mas-home-visits.pdf</a>

Standardized Public Debt Database
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-15T21:33:14.000ZThis database compiles up-to-date standardized statistics on sovereign debt issuances for the LAC region and contains bi-annual data starting in 2006 through to 2021. Sovereign Debt Data is classified by legislation, creditor, currency and maturity amongst others for 26 countries. The availability of valid, comparable, and standardized public debt data is essential for the implementation of sound policies in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). This is why at the core of the LAC Debt Group initiative is the development of a standardized sovereign debt database to help debt managers, policy makers, and other actors of financial markets analyze the evolution and composition of public debt in LAC and conduct cross-country comparisons. The information of this database is provided by the public debt offices of LAC countries in response to a questionnaire specifically designed to allow comparability of data. The questionnaire, whose response is non-compulsory, is intended to compile up-to-date standardized statistics for objective and homogeneous definitions of public debt.<br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/idb/dataset/3bvi-edbq</b></br></br>

Regional System of Standardized Indicators in Peaceful Coexistence and Citizen Security
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-23T15:45:13.000ZThe Regional system of standardized Indicators in peaceful coexistence and Citizen Security (RIC) is a project through which 15 countries and two capital cities of Latin America and the Caribbean, have partnered to improve and compare their statistics on crime and violence. This initiative has been promoted and financed by the Inter-American Development Bank - IDB through the Regional Public Goods program under the coordination and execution of CISALVA Institute at the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia. The citizen security indicators were designed, reviewed and approved by the project's partner countries, along with established definitions and methodologies for the standardizing of the collecting, processing and analyzing stages of the information flow in order to support the quality of the data published. These indicators were reviewed in various regional boards, resulting in the improvement of some of them and the selection of additional citizen security indicators. The indicators are obtained via administrative records and others via surveys. In order to ensure the comparability of the indicators, a standardization process of concepts relating to the variables of time, place, person and circumstance was developed.<br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/idb/dataset/2gtw-dpqa</b></br></br>

Summary indicators of Employment protection Legislation (EPL) in Latin America and the Caribbean
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-15T21:36:21.000ZThe OECD/IDB indicators of employment protection legislation measure the procedures and costs involved in dismissing individuals or groups of workers and the procedures involved in hiring workers on fixed-term or temporary work agency contracts. The indicators have been compiled using IDB and OECD own reading of statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. The OECD Secretariat and the IDB equally share the responsibility of the interpretation of LAC countries’ statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. This data base constitutes the first systematic approach to review and compare employment protection regulations in LAC, in a way that is also comparable with countries around the world. <br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/d/fzc8-jx54</b></br></br>

More than Revenue: Taxation as a Development Tool - DIA 2013
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-15T20:27:51.000ZTaxation in Latin America is largely viewed as a means of generating income to keep the government in business. In recent years, progress has been made towards increasing total revenue, but most countries in the region still lag well behind other countries with similar levels of development. More importantly, Latin America policymakers still largely ignore the potential of taxation to contribute to other important development goals. Governments have repeatedly missed the chance to influence consumption and production patterns by using taxes to effect relative price changes. More than Revenue aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the current state of taxation in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, its main reform needs, and possible reform strategies that take into account the likely economic, institutional, and political constraints on the reform process. <br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/d/edmz-xf2j </b></br></br>

2009-2014 InfraScopio - Filtro: Centroamérica
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2018-01-29T14:51:17.000ZThis benchmarking index is a learning tool that evaluates the legal, regulatory and operating environments for Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in transport, water/sanitation and electricity infrastructure for 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries. The analysis and scores in the model provide a comparable assessment of individual countries' readiness and facility for PPP project design and implementation. For the purpose of this index, PPP refers specifically to projects which involve a long-term contract between a public-sector body and a private-sector entity for the design, construction (or upgrading), operation and maintenance of public infrastructure; with finance usually provided by, and significant construction, operation and maintenance risks transferred to, the private-sector, which also bears either availability or demand risk; but with the public sector remaining responsible for policy oversight and regulation; and the infrastructure generally reverting to public-sector control at the end of the contract term. <br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/Private-Firms-and-SME-Development/2009-2014-InfraScope-Index-for-Latin-America-and-t/xi2u-w6pd</b></br></br>
