  • Summary Dataset: Water and Sanitation Tariffs in Latin America
    Dataset

    By Water and Sanitation Division (VPS/INE/WSA)
    Water and Sanitation Tariff Dataset This dataset, created by the Knowledge team in the IDB’s Water and Sanitation Division, compiles publicly available information to compare tariff systems and subsidies across Latin America and the Caribbean. It includes data on: - Residential drinking water and sanitation tariffs - Subsidies - Tariff types - Metering - Other sector details The dataset has been simplified and published through the Water and Sanitation Observatory (OLAS) to support its mission of providing consistent, reliable, and updated data for understanding the sector at both national and regional levels—aligned with SDG 6. For a deeper dive into the process and key trends, see: How Much Do Households Pay for Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Latin America?

  • Informing Citizen Security Policy: An Evidence Gap Map on Policing Interventions - Dataset
    Dataset

    By Knowledge and Learning Division (VPS/VPS/KLD); Citizen Security Division (VPS/IFD/CIS)
    Citizen security remains one of the most pressing development challenges facing low- and middle-income countries around the globe. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), for example—a region where homicide rates have consistently remained more than three times the global average (UNODC, 2023; InSight Crime, 2024)—crime and violence are estimated to cost approximately 3.4% of the region’s GDP (IDB, 2024), whereas research suggests that bringing the crime level in Latin America down to the world average would boost LAC’s average annual growth rate by 0.5 percentage points (IMF, 2023). This Evidence Gap Map (EGM) focuses on citizen security interventions led or supported by police agencies, and maps existing impact evaluations and systematic reviews that examine the effectiveness of a wide range of policing interventions aimed at reducing crime, violence, disorder, overall insecurity, and their associated risk factors and underlying determinants. While some previous evidence maps...

  • Sample Code for: Creating Public Payroll Indicators:  A Methodological Guide
    Dataset

    By Innovation in Citizen Services Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)
    The R code is used to calculate and standardize payroll indicators from common-format personnel records. Specifically, it provides working examples for deriving each key indicator (wage bill growth, employment growth, average pay trajectories, pay equity, gender pay gap, turnover, promotions/career progression, and retirement projections), so governments can compute these measures for the whole administration, for specific agencies, or for employee subgroups (e.g., by job, gender, contract). The code also illustrates recommended calculations and helps address common data errors, enabling comparable, reproducible salary indicators across countries.

  • InfraScope Index for Latin America and the Caribbean: 2009-2014
    Dataset

    By IDB Lab (IDB Lab)
    This index helps you compare how 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries support Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in transport, water/sanitation, and electricity infrastructure. It’s designed as a practical learning tool for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners. The scores show how ready each country is to design and implement PPP projects, based on their legal, regulatory, and operational environments.
