Still thinking about it. Some sort of choropleth or cartogram with one year of data may work and show geographic patterns.

My only hesitation about the heatmap is that it’s really hard to find a specific country. Maybe color-coding the country labels by region? This came up several times today…..

And I made it tall enough to see all the names.

The more data, the clearer and more visible the woman.

Xan is a coder in North Carolina. (Thanks!)

Each little chart is a country, years are arrayed across the x-axis, and indicators are along the y-axis. Black space: data DO exist. White space: data are missing.

Note on those white spaces: do they represent data that have never been gathered or won’t be gathered? Or might there be studies in the field or data from local sources at different points in time during the year?

Working on adding a third dimension about if perhaps those data could be found.
