The comparatively unsatisfactory progress in regard to the
acquisition of adequate and reliable vital statistics in the African
region in the past is now very well known and hardly requires further
documentation. All the same, the situation, as at present, still calls
for a critical examination of the potentials for improvement now and in
the future. In doing so in this paper, the focus will be on the prospects
for the study of fertility and fertility differentials in the continent
as shown by an analysis of recently completed or current or proposed
data collection programmes for some known dates between 1965 and 1975.
