  • Bioinformatics for Researchers in Life Sciences: Tools and Learning Resources
    Dataset

    By Competitiveness, Technology and Innovation Division (VPS/PTI/CTI)
    The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that bioinformatics--a multidisciplinary field that combines biological knowledge with computer programming concerned with the acquisition, storage, analysis, and dissemination of biological data--has a fundamental role in scientific research strategies in all disciplines involved in fighting the virus and its variants. It aids in sequencing and annotating genomes and their observed mutations; analyzing gene and protein expression; simulation and modeling of DNA, RNA, proteins and biomolecular interactions; and mining of biological literature, among many other critical areas of research. Studies suggest that bioinformatics skills in the Latin American and Caribbean region are relatively incipient, and thus its scientific systems cannot take full advantage of the increasing availability of bioinformatic tools and data. This dataset is a catalog of bioinformatics software for researchers and professionals working in life sciences. It includes more than...

  • Transmission Risk Assessment Checklist
    Dataset

    By Agriculture and Rural Development Division (VPS/PTI/ARD)
    The series of documents includes general recommendations to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the tourism sector, as well as specific recommendations for different tourist subsectors and spaces (accommodations, restaurants, local transport, beaches, airports and ports). It also includes recommendations for managing prevention protocols and specific tools to minimize transmission. The series is derived from an evaluation-diagnosis exercise that determined the adequacy of the current biosafety protocols against COVID-19 in a set of tourism subsectors, identifying the main nodes of risk of contagion throughout the service provision process. The series is made up of 10 documents: Reading Guide, R01 General Recommendations, R02.1-R02.5 Specific Recommendations by Subsector (tourist accommodation, restaurants, local transport, beaches, ports and airports), R03 Recommendations for Managing Prevention Protocols, and E02.1-E02.2 Specific Tools to Minimize Transmission.

  • Cost Simulation Tool for Long-Term Care Systems in Latin America and the Caribbean
    Dataset

    By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)
    The cost simulation tool for long-term care systems provides a way to quickly estimate how much it would cost governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to implement this type of system. It can also be used to compare different service packages and make projections. The dataset contains data on population, levels of care dependence, and other macroeconomic variables that are processed by formulas to allow users to quickly estimate how much it would cost a government to implement a long-term care system in 2020. Users can estimate the cost of up to two long-term care service packages and project costs for 2025 and 2030.

  • Data associated with: Overview of Aging and Dependency in Latin America and the Caribbean
    Dataset

    By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)
    This dataset was created to support the 2016 DIA (Related publication only available in Spanish). The accelerated aging process that countries in Latin America and the Caribbean are undergoing imposes unprecedented pressures on the long-term care sector. In this context, the growing demand for care from the elderly population occurs alongside a reduction in the availability of informal care. Governments in the region must prepare to address these pressures by supporting the provision of care services to alleviate social exclusion in old age. The Inter-American Development Bank has created an Observatory on Aging and Care — the focus of this policy brief — aimed at providing decision-makers with information to design policies based on available empirical evidence. In this initial phase, the Observatory seeks to document the demographic situation of countries in the region, the health of their elderly population, their limitations and dependency status, as well as their main...
