Supplementary notes

* The 2019 SDG Index for Latin America and the Caribbean presents the first comparable monitoring tool among Latin American and the Caribbean countries regarding their progress towards achieving the SDGs. The data collection, computation and report writing was led by the SDG Center for Latin America in the Caribbean (CODS) in Bogotá, Colombia, and it is based on SDSN global SDG Index initiative.
Out of the 33 countries in the region, only 24 met the requirement of having at least 80 percent of indicators available for the calculation of the index. The score scales ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) points. Further information about the index methodology can be found on chapter 3 of the report.
