| Summary: | This volume presents data from 53
African countries, arranged in separate tables or matrices
for more than 500 development indicators. The indicators are
grouped into 14 chapters: background data, national
accounts, prices and exchange rates, money and banking, the
external sector, external debt and related flows, government
finance, agriculture, power, communications and
transportation, public enterprises, labor force and
employment, aid flows, social indicators, and environmental
indicators. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction on
the nature of the data and their limitations, followed by a
set of charts, statistical tables, and technical notes that
define the indicators and identify their specific source.
Most of the indicators present data by year for the period
1970-99. Many indicators also include averages or average
growth rates for three recent time periods, covering the
years 1975-99 or the most recently available year. Efforts
have been made to standardize the data to facilitate
cross-country comparisons. The data in this book are derived
from a variety of sources. In most cases, the original
sources are the national statistical services in Africa. In
addition, many international agencies collect or compile
data on African countries and organize national data in a
standardized framework. The data have been supplemented by
World Bank staff estimates to help address problems of
missing or inconsistent data from standard sources. |
