The Little Data Book on Africa 2008 v

IntroductionThe Little Data Book on Africa 2008/09 is a pocket edition of Africa De-velopment Indicators 2008/09. It contains some 115 key indicators on economics, human development, governance, and partnership and is in-tended 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.

User GuideCountries are listed alphabetically.

StatisticsData are shown for economies as they were constituted in 2006, and his-torical data are revised to reflect current political arrangements. Excep-tions are noted throughout the tables. Data will, however, be provided for doing business, investment climate, Governance and anticorruption indica-tors, 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 mean-ingful.

Data consistency, reliability and comparabilityConsiderable effort has been made to harmonize the data, but full compara-bility 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 affect-ing the collection and reporting of data, such as conflicts. Except where otherwise stated, growth rates are in real terms.

Age dependency ratio is the ratio of (dependents to working-age popula-tion) is those ages 15–64. For example, 0.7 means there are 7 dependents for every 10 working-age people. World Bank staff estimates from various sources including census reports, the United Nations Population Division’s World Population Prospects, national statistical offices, household surveys conducted by national agencies, and Macro International.

Control of corruption measures the extent of corruption, conventionally de-fined as the exercise of public power for private gain. It is based on scores of variables from surveys and polls of experts. These scores are divided into five groups based on percentile rank and lie between point estimates of –2.5 and 2.5, with higher scores corresponding to better outcomes. (Kaufmann, D., A. Kraay, and M. Mastruzzi, 2005, Governance Matters IV: Governance Indicators for 1996–2004)

Country endorsed the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) principles indicates whether a country has implemented or endorsed the EITI, a multistakeholder approach to increasing governance and transpar-ency in extractive industries. It includes civil society, the private sector, and government and requires a work plan with timeline and budget to ensure sustainability, independent audit of payments and disclosure of revenues, publication of results in a publicly accessible manner, and an approach that covers all companies and government agencies. EITI supports improved governance in resource-rich countries through the verification and full pub-lication of company payments and government revenues from oil, gas, and mining. EITI is a global initiative and the EITI Secretariat has developed an EITI Source Book that provides guidance for countries and companies wish-ing to implement the initiative (www.eitransparency.org/)

Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) overall rating (IDA re-source allocation index) assesses the quality of a country’s current policy and institutional framework. “Quality” means how conducive that frame-work is to fostering sustainable, poverty-reducing growth and the effective use of development assistance. The CPIA is conducted annually for all Inter-national Bank for Reconstruction and Development and International Devel-opment Association borrowers. Ratings are based on 16 criteria, grouped in

LDB Africa 12-2-08.indd 109 12/2/08 12:20:46 PM

110 2008 The Little Data Book on Africa

four clusters: economic management, structural policies, policies for social inclusion and equity, and public sector management and institutions. The criteria reflect a balance between ensuring that all key factors that foster pro-poor growth and poverty alleviation are captured without overly burden-ing the evaluation process. Country scores reflect a variety of indicators and judgments that are based on country knowledge, analytic work, policy dialogue, or work done by partners as well as relevant publicly available indicators. The rating scale for each criterion varies from 1 (low) to 6 (high). Countries may also receive intermediate scores of 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5. The ratings are the main determinant of prospects for current aid ef-fectiveness. Improvements in policies and institutions during the course of the year are reflected in the subsequent year’s performance ratings. (World Bank Country Policy and Institutional Assessments)

Court system is fair, impartial and uncorrupted, is the percentage of firms believing the court system is fair, impartial and uncorrupted as a major con-straint.

Gini index is the most commonly used measure of inequality. The coefficient ranges from 0, which reflects complete equality, to 1, which indicates com-plete inequality (one person has all the income or consumption, all others have none). Graphically, the Gini coefficient can be easily represented by the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of equality. (World Bank’s World Development Indicators)

PDI-1 Operational national development strategies are the degree to the extent to which a country has an operational development strategy to guide the aid coordination effort and the country’s overall development. The score is based on the World Bank’s 2005 Comprehensive Development Framework Progress Report. An operational strategy calls for a coherent long-term strategy derived from it; specific targets serving a holistic, bal-anced and well sequenced development strategy; and capacity and re-sources for its implementation. (Overview of the Results 2007 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration and World Bank data.)

PDI-12 Existence of a mutual accountability indicates whether there is a mechanism for mutual review of progress on aid effectiveness commit-ments. This is an important innovation of the Paris Declaration because it develops the idea that aid is more effective when both donors and partner governments are accountable to their constituents for the use of resources to achieve development results and when they are accountable to each other. The specific focus is mutual accountability for the implementation
