There is a significant update to the Quantitative Assessment of Human Rights and Vulnerable Groups for Saudi Arabia paper. Now titled the Quantitative Assessment of Human Rights and Vulnerable Groups for 197 Countries. We have fully automated the Quantitative Assessment of Human Rights and Vulnerable Groups, which is now pre-calculated/generated for 197 countries/territories, and which includes the overview statistics and self-populated graphs on human rights recommendations and observations, the frequency of salience of vulnerable groups in those, and more slicing in relation to and within each SDG. This improvement will make integrating the tool into almost any CCA and UNSDCF seamless.

Human Rights and vulnerable groups' approach utilizes the Danish Institute for Human Rights SDG – Human Rights Data Explorer, using simple statistical methods to show how quantitative data-driven analysis of human rights with vulnerable groups can intersect with the SDGs. It determines what the distribution of observations and recommendations across the SDGs and across vulnerable groups is (identifying most salient vulnerable groups and most Human Rights relevant SDGs), and determines which vulnerable groups are more than proportionally affected within each SDG.

For instance, for Albania, for auto-results on human rights and vulnerable groups, one would simultaneously open (and keep opened) the files Auto Figures.xlsx (in the root folder; …\RCO-UNCT-Economist-Toolkit\Quantitative Analysis of Human Rights and Vulnerable Groups for 197 Countries\Auto Figures.xlsx) and HR_Vuln2021_Albania.xlsx (in the folder Excel files; …\RCO-UNCT-Economist-Toolkit\Quantitative Analysis of Human Rights and Vulnerable Groups for 197 Countries\Excel Files\ HR_Vuln2021_Albania.xls), and select Albania as the focus country in the Auto Figures.xlsx, as per the image below (Note: always click "Enable Content" if prompted by Excel; the tool will not work if the file names are changed (Be careful if downloading the exact file(s) multiple times); Excel can take more than a minute to calculate everything, so be patient).
