3. Progress to date
As at 1 April 2014, the following outputs are completed:
All project countries feature in CountryData
Over 400 indicators, almost 800 time series and over 4,500 observations exchanged
2 new “draft” metadata handbooks completed as well as 7 countries now share metadata
Over 100 “core” indicators paired and the discrepancy explained for around 80% of those pairs
