6. Summary of UN P2P processed in 2017 and integrated for CC production
Duty stations
Number of surveys processed (2016 UN Surveys)
23+2rejected
Impact = move CC <100 to CC >100(Russia) 1
Impact = move CC >100 to CC <100(Guatemala, Brazil, Sierra leone) 3
New delegation? (or previously ceased to publish) no
Replacing oldest survey (India)
May-91
Replacing most recent survey (Eritrea surveyed every year)
May-16
=> Average BH coverage
48/57 = 84%
=> Average BH estimated
09/57 = 16%

7. Summary of UN P2P processed in 2017 but not integrated for CC production
Duty stations
Number of surveys processed (2016 UN Surveys) 2
Impact = move CC <100 to CC >100
Impact = move CC >100 to CC <100 (Liberia) 1
New delegation? (or previously ceased to publish) no
Would have replaced oldest survey (Liberia)
May-2013
Would have replaced most recent survey (South Sudan)
=> Average BH coverage
29/57 = 50%
=> Average BH estimated
28/57 = 50%
