Both reliable and current data as well as strong statistical institutes equipped with modern technology and modern methods of data collection and analysis may be rare in the continent but, given their limited manpower, technological and budget resources, most African Statistical Institutes have done a good job in the attempt to close the statistical and information gap by supplementing those from other sources. Coming up with the right policy prescriptions requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the way an economy works, and this requires reliable and current data and information. Strengthening research capacity and statistical institutes in Africa is therefore vital. This page attempts to serve as a one-stop site about available Macro and Micro data on African Economies. That way, we hope to increase awareness about the existing information on Africa and facilitate research on the continent. Visitors are also encouraged to comment and inform us about the locations of similar information.
