This project is a visual exploration of the relationship between Africa’s economic development and its infrastructure.
Sub-Saharan Africa has been evaluated as being at the bottom of developing regions in terms of infrastructure performance,
and numbers of obstacle for growth and poverty reduction across the region.
The aim is to answer questions such as: How have infrastructure changes in Sub-Saharan Africa led or not led to economic growth in the past thirty years? Does growth in communications infrastructure, such as internet and cellphones, lead to economic growth? Are there differences in outcomes by the income-level of the country? How does inflation and vulnerable employment factor in?
All data is sourced from the World Bank and Africa Development Bank Group.
In this project, we had an overview of economic indicators and development of infrastructure in Africa.
In part 2, we are going to dive in some countries that display distinctive trends so that we can provide more stories and narratives.
Also, we are going to try to explore health dataset to see if there is any relations between health and gender equality or birth rate.
