What does it mean on the ICCBBA “Facility Annual Return” when they want to know if my facility is located in a country with a MEDIUM or LOW Human Development Index?
The United Nations ranks countries by their economic status and calls it a Human Development Index (HDI). See http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/. Fees are reduced for facilities that are located in countries with a Human Development Index classification of Medium or Low. For facilities in Medium HDI countries, fees are 66% of the normal cost. For facilities in Low HDI countries fees are 33% of the normal cost.
