Notes:

a. Information provided by Global Affairs Canada to FAAE and dated 14 June 2016, based on the Statistical Reports on International Assistance. Note: figures reflect all Canadian government sources of international assistance and are not limited to Global Affairs Canada programs. “International assistance” includes humanitarian assistance.

b. The United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Human Development Index is a composite measurement of various education, health and income indicators. UNDP, Human Development Report 2015: Work for Human Development, 2015.

c. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index looks at the state of democracy across the globe. The index is a composite measurement of five indicators: electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and, political culture.

d. The population figures for 2014 are produced by the World Bank. According to the World Bank, “Total population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship – except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. The values shown are midyear estimates.” For more information, see: The World Bank, “Population, total,” Data.

e. The figures on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for 2014 are produced by the World Bank.
