As part of the “Geospatial Assessment of Women Employment and Business Opportunities in the Energy Sector” project, open-source Gender-related spatial data was collected for 31 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) across the globe, resulting in curated and thoroughly documented geodatabases (GDBs) that are now ready to be explored! 
Fifty-nine spatial layers were identified and then researched for each country, covering the following categories: Demographics and Population | Renewable Energy | Energy Access | Education | Jobs and Finance | Digital Inclusion | Transportation | Safety | Amenities | Climate/Earth | Law/Policy/Government. 


However, not every country GDB contains all 59 data layers, as this was dependent on the availability of open-source data in each SIDS. Users are encouraged to check the accompanying metadata excel file for more information on the datasets in each GDB, the vintage, and the

The World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives explores the tremendous potential of the changing data landscape to improve the lives of poor people, while also acknowledging its potential to open back doors that can harm individuals, businesses, and societies. To address this tension between the helpful and harmful potential of data, this Report calls for a new social contract that enables the use and reuse of data to create economic and social value, ensures equitable access to that value, and fosters trust that data will not be misused in harmful ways. The data used in the WDR2021 are curated as a collection here.

World Settlement Footprint

The indicator provides assessment of whether a specific process is in place to evaluate the feasibility of the unsolicited proposals (USPs). It evaluates USPs' alignment with other government priorities; whether specific compensation mechanisms are in place for USPs; and whether a competitive process is required to select the private partner for the PPP project. Only the countries where USPs are allowed and take place have received scores. No scores have been given to those countries where the regulatory framework specifically prohibits the submission of USPs or where the USPs do not happen in practice.

Assessment of country’s adherence to the best regulatory practices, procurement of unsolicited proposals (scale 1-100)

This indicator provides an assessment of a country's adherence to the best regulatory practices (scored from 1 to 100 (best practice)) during the period and activities that inform the decision of whether to launch a PPP procurement process. It is determined by assessing whether the identification of a prospective PPP project happens within the broader context of public investments, consistent with other government priorities. It also examines the different types of assessments and the methodologies used to set the rules for these assessments. Furthermore, it considers other activities undertaken before publishing the public tender notice, such as preparing the draft contract and tender documents and obtaining land and permits, that lead to the procurement of the PPP project.

Assessment of country’s adherence to the best regulatory practices at the preparation stage of PPP project (scale 1-100)

This indicator provides an assessment of a country's adherence to the best regulatory practices (scored from 1 to 100 (best practice)) during the selection of a private partner who takes on the responsibility of developing the PPP project. It focuses on fairness, neutrality, and transparency of the process, as well as provisions assuring competition between the potential private partners.

Assessment of country’s adherence to the best regulatory practices at the procurement stage of PPP project (scale 1-100)

The indicator provides assessment of whether the contract management framework is in place to facilitate the implementation of PPP projects, as well as the existing monitoring and evaluation systems. It also examines the regulatory provisions regarding PPP contract modification and renegotiation, dispute resolution, lender step-in rights, and termination of contracts.

Procuring Infrastructure PPPs: Adherence to Best Regulatory Practices is a collection of comparable and actionable data on the procurement of large-scale public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects around the world. The assessments of countries’ regulatory practices are organized in four thematic areas: preparation, procurement, contract management, and a special module on unsolicited proposals (USP).
