Introduction The Little Data Book on Africa 2008/09 is a pocket edition of Africa Development Indicators 2008/09. It contains some 115 key indicators on economics, human development, governance, and partnership and is intended as a quick reference for users of the Africa Development Indicators 2008/09 book and African Development Indicators Online. The country tables present the latest available data for World Bank member countries in Africa. The Little Data Book on Africa 2008 v Africa 12-2-08.indd 5 12/2/08 12:20:17 P
User Guide Countries are listed alphabetically. Statistics Data are shown for economies as they were constituted in 2006, and historical data are revised to reflect current political arrangements. Exceptions are noted throughout the tables. Data will, however, be provided for doing business, investment climate, Governance and anticorruption indicators, and Country Policy and Institutional Assessment ratings (CPIA) for later years (2007 08). Data in the table are for 2006, 2007 or 2008, except where otherwise noted. Data in italics are the most recent values for the period 2000 2005. Growth rates are proportional changes from the previous year. means that data are not available or that aggregates cannot be calculated because of missing data in the years shown $ means U.S. dollars 0 or 0.0 means zero or small enough that the number would round to zero at the displayed number of decimal places. Dash or hyphen in dates, as in 2004 06, means that the period of time straddles between those years. A blank means not applicable or, for an aggregate, not analytically meaningful. Data consistency, reliability and comparability Considerable effort has been made to harmonize the data, but full comparability cannot be assured, and care must be taken in interpreting indicators. Many factors affect data availability, comparability, and reliability. Data coverage may not be complete because of special circumstances affecting the collection and reporting of data, such as conflicts. Except where otherwise stated, growth rates are in real terms. vi 2008 The Little Data Book on Africa Africa 12-2-08.indd 6 12/2/08 12:20:17 P
