The
World Bank is pleased to present the
Africa Live Database to the general
public! A comprehensive database of
macroeconomic and sectoral indicators,
the Africa Live Database is an invaluable
source of information for those who
collect and analyze data relating to
African countries. With a mere click
of a button, you can access the most
complete and up-to-date public collection
of World Bank statistics and analyses
on the Sub-Saharan countries. A Windows
ExcelTM-based software package, the
database covers macroeconomic, social,

as twenty regional groupings. The Database
allows you great flexibility in retrieving
and organizing your data either by country
