Using health, education, economic, rights, stability, and infrastructure data from a number of international organizations, academic and research centers, and development organizations, this “Scoring Africa” infographic compares Africa’s 54 internationally recognized countries (minus South Sudan, which has no country-level development data yet).
Comparing countries on a particular indicator or comparing indicator levels for a particular country is a highlight of this infographic, but does the reliance on measurements and indicators hide certain aspects of development – or perhaps rely on a specific definition of development? How might we supplement this type of information with additional questions?
