Resumen
Descripción
As in previous years, African
Development Indicators (ADI 2005 assembles economic,
social, and environmental data from a variety of sources to
present a broad picture of development across Africa. Some
of the key improvements in this year's edition are the
reduction of macroeconomic and other data lags, enabling
external debt reporting up to 2003 and updates on the HIPC
initiative. This volume presents the available relevant data
for 1980-2003, 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; household surveys; and public enterprises. Chapter 14
(environmental indicators) was once again taken from the
World Resources Institute's World Resources 2002-2004:
Decisions for Earth: Balance, Voice and Power, which is a
repeat from ADI 2004. Each chapter begins with a brief
introduction on the nature of the data, followed by a set of
charts, statistical tables, and technical notes. These notes
define the indicators and identify specific sources. Most
macroeconomic data (in particular, national accounts,
balance of payments, government finance statistics, and
trade) reflect data maintained by World Bank country desks,
often referred to as operational data. These data are often
more up to date and offer better country coverage than the
data stored in the Bank's central files, the
Statistical Information Management and Analysis Database (SIMA),
