The World Bank Africa Database CD-ROM (single-user edition) offers a comprehensive database with year-by-year time series of most indicators going back to 1970. This portable database on Africa contains over 1,200 indicators of macro-economic, sectoral, and social data for 53 African countries and 20 regional country groups. These series provide analysts data needed to help place the most recent years in a historical context. It also contains the Country at-a-Glance tables for all African countries, Excel based Executive Summary Briefings, and the electronic copy of the publication tables.
The CD-ROM and book are designed to provide all those interested in Africa with a focused and convenient set of data to monitor development programs and aid flows in the region. Both are invaluable reference tools for analysts and policymakers who want a better understanding of the economic and social developments occurring in Africa.
The World Bank Africa Database is published annually by the World Bank. It is also available in print (see 0-8213-5453-1) and in multiple-user CD-ROM formats (see 0-8213-5472-8).
