Overview

'African Development Indicators 2005' provides the most detailed collection of data on Africa available in one volume. It contains more than 500 macroeconomic, sectoral, and social indicators, covering over 50 African countries with data from 1965-2003.

The book is grouped into 17 chapters: background data; national accounts; prices and exchange rates; money and banking; external sector; external debt and related flows; government finance; agriculture; power, communications, and transportation;doing business; labor force and employment; aid flows; social indicators; environmental indicators; HIPC debt initiative; household welfare; and public enterprises. Each chapter 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.

The paperback contains more than 500 macroeconomic, sectorial, and social indicators and covers 53 African countries. Additional data may be found on the CD-ROMs (the two are identical, with the multiple-user one allowing networking for up to 15 users), which contain over 1200 indicators for over 50 countries and 20 regional country groups from 1965 to 2003.
