Geographic Scope

Geographic scope sorts public health programs by how wide an area each one covers, from a single country to the whole world. Wikipedia calls the Global Polio Eradication Initiative "the largest international public health initiative in history," a scope spanning nearly every country on earth. This dimension lets a visitor separate global campaigns from local or regional ones.
