About the counts. Human Development here is the four HD-VP practice groups — Education, Health, Social Protection, and Gender & Human Capital — counted by owning unit of record, so this reconciles with the LAC dashboard and the brief (LAC HD = 538,951 / 218; Education = 266,006 / 81). Team-authored titles the owner code files under a global unit (e.g. Effective Reading Instruction) are credited to LAC here.

What drives the LAC Health total

78% of LAC Health's downloads (108,895 of 139,997) come from a single country report — Invertir en una Longevidad Saludable, Inclusiva y Productiva: Una Prioridad para Colombia — and most of that report's downloads are from within Colombia.

Most of the LAC Health total therefore reflects one country-specific report rather than many publications read across the region. Setting it aside, the practice's other 26 publications total 31,102 (~1,196 downloads/publication).

Who reads each practice

Share of downloads from readers in LAC (WB Documents) · language of the downloaded edition (all readers)

Education

25% of downloads are from readers in Latin America & the Caribbean.

54% are of the Spanish-language edition (across all readers).

Publishes the most of the HD practices; its AI series is also read widely outside the region (much from the US), which lowers its in-region share.

Health

79% of downloads are from readers in Latin America & the Caribbean.

91% are of the Spanish-language edition (across all readers).

Its high in-region share reflects the single Colombia report noted above (mostly read within Colombia).

Social Protection

24% of downloads are from readers in Latin America & the Caribbean.

56% are of the English-language edition (across all readers).

Lower per-publication downloads, across a large set of publications.

Gender & Human Capital

6% of downloads are from readers in Latin America & the Caribbean.

100% are of the English-language edition (across all readers).

Country Gender Landscape notes (HD Gender unit) and Human Capital Project pieces — HD-VP work outside the three named practices.

Downloads over time

Grand total at each refresh · updates every 2 months

Methodology & contact

Sources. Downloads are read from both World Bank repositories — WB Documents (documentos.bancomundial.org) and the Open Knowledge Repository (openknowledge.worldbank.org) — and summed across every language version of each publication.

Window. Publications with a document date in 2024–2026. Reader geography is from WB Documents (~99% of its downloads are geo-located; OKR downloads are not). “United States & high-income” is the World Bank's residual region grouping, here almost entirely the United States.

All three practices are counted by owning unit of record, so LAC Human Development is 538,951 / 218 and Education is 266,006 / 81 — the same figures as the LAC dashboard and the brief. The full LAC Education list is on the LAC Education team page.

All HD practices by owning unit of record (reconciles with the LAC dashboard: HD 538,951 / 218). Reader geography = WB Documents (OKR not geo-located). Refreshes monthly.
