^a Combined figure for low and middle income countries used as a proxy for developing countries with the exception of the indicators for persistence to Grade 5, maternal mortality ratio and safe water where a true developing countries figure is used.

^b Data refer to the most recent year available within the specified period.

^c At 1993 purchasing power parities (PPPs) adjusted to current price terms.

^d The poverty gap is the mean shortfall below the poverty line (counting the non-poor as having zero shortfall), expressed as a percentage of the poverty line. The measure reflects the depth of poverty as well as its incidence.

^e Data are for nearest available year.

^f Figures are based on net enrolment ratios

^g The indicator actually relates to HIV prevalence in 15 to 24 year old pregnant women. However, until satisfactory data coverage is achieved on this indicator, the prevalence of HIV infection in all adults will be used.

^h Data may refer to earlier years
