African Statistical Yearbook 2013 = Annuaire statistique pour l'Afrique 2013

Abstract

The yearbook continues to serve the intended purpose of bringing together, in one volume, data on African countries for policy makers, researchers and other users. We are therefore committed to continue producing, jointly, the African Statistical Yearbook on an annual basis. And bearing in mind that the original collection of the statistics takes place at the national level, we shall continue in our efforts, again jointly, to continuously reinforce the capacities of the national structures to produce quality and credible statistics, first for their development needs, and then to feed into appropriate continental and global databases and repositories.
