Pioneers in this area are the USA and Great Britain. The project code for the dashboard is publicly available in the following GitHub repositories:
BeyondGDP


A universal version of the code for an online platform developed by the United States, Great Britain and the Center for Open Data Enterprise is available. The german BeyondGDP
