Counted from the program table of the knowledge map (build km-neo4j-gen32-1302425-4562185). 11,970 typed programs in all, 187 countries, document years 1955–2024. Untyped keys (937) are in no number. Money is not shown. A program with several countries or implementers counts in each; global programs count for the countries they operated in, not as a country's own.
Every figure links to the programs directory with the same filters. The directory lists named programs only: 254 of these 903 have a name, the rest are in Explore. Each program opens its evidence.
