Statistical Atlas

This report is an attempt to exploit the enabling capabilities of Spatial Statistics to complement traditional forms of data presentation and analysis, by focusing attention on possible spatial relationships and patterns. It spatially represents selected key statistical indicators relevant to the current issues and challenges of the African development agenda.

In essence the report is an atlas of selected key statistical indicators in which geovisualization is used: i) to depict spatial patterns in economic, social and demographic aspects at selected time periods based on available and published data, ii) to feature time trend of regional development based on selected socio-economic indicators, and iii) to highlight statistical patterns across the continent.
