Basic Capabilities Index (BCI)

SWP contributes to the global monitoring initiative by developing appropriate tools in appraising country performances. In particular, SWP initiated the development of the Basic Capabilities Index or BCI (originally called Quality of Life Index) which has been adopted by Social Watch International as its main monitoring index in assessing key development performance of different countries. The Gender Equity Index is the variant of the BCI which measures gender- responsive accomplishments in social development.
