What do we know about economic development in Africa? The answer is that we know much less than we would like to think. This collection assesses the knowledge problem present in statistics on poverty, agriculture, labour, education, health, and economic growth. While diverse in origin, the contributors to this book are unified in two conclusions: the quality and quantity of data needs to be improved; and this is a concern not just for statisticians. It provides a guide for scholars, policy makers, and all those who are interested in using data, designing surveys and supporting statistical capacity. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Development Studies.
