This detailed collection of data on Africa contains more than 500 macroeconomic, sectoral and social indicators, covering 53 African countries with data from 1965-2001. Each of the book's 15 chapters begins with a brief introduction on the nature of the data and their limitations, followed by a set of statistical tables, charts and technical notes that define the indicators and identify their specific source. Included in the 2003 edition are new tables on HIV/AIDS, communications and transportation and the HIPC Debt Initiative. Designed to provide all those interested in Africa with a focused and convenient set of data to monitor development programmes and aid flows in the region, this should be a useful reference tool for analysts and policymakers who want a better understanding of the economic and social developments occurring in Africa. Also available in CD-ROM format.
