The World Bank launched the e-Atlas of Global Development in April 2011. It is a free, interactive tool, which maps and graphs more than 175 indicators from the World Bank's development database including various health related themes. A print edition has also been released. Both atlases draw on a global database compiled from the work of the World Bank, other international agencies, and national statistical offices of World Bank member countries.
Developed in collaboration with HarperCollins, the e-atlas allows users to easily and quickly map and chart economic and social indicators and compare country outcomes. Users can export customised, professional quality, full colour maps and graphs. Other features include scalable maps, timeline graphing, ranking tables, and import and export functions for sharing data and graphics. Critical issues such as poverty, food production, population growth, climate change, international trade, and foreign direct investment are covered.
