StatPlanet World Bank is an application for exploring and analyzing the 3000+ indicators available from the World Bank database through interactive maps and graphs.

The application aims to provide anyone - but in particular decision makers and policy makers - with a quick and easy interface to access the World Bank data, in a format that suits their needs or interests, even when Internet connectivity is not available. To facilitate access to the data anytime and anywhere, both web and desktop application versions are available. The web version is updated real time and can retrieve indicators either by topic (e.g. “Education”) or by ‘data source’ (e.g. “African Development Indicators”). It is available in English, French and Spanish. In order to function without Internet connectivity, the desktop version comes with a pre-defined selection of World Bank data, as well as relevant data from other sources related to the MDGs. This is currently in English only, but the database can be freely modified and expanded by others.
