Agenda 03 - 09 November 2013

How we are misled by African development statistics and what to do about it.

Reliable statistics, including estimates of economic growth rates and per-capita income, are basic to the operation of governments in developing countries and vital to non-governmental organizations and other entities that provide financial aid to them.
