Open Data for Africa (AfDB)

The African Development Bank's continental data platform, providing statistics and indicators for all African countries, mappable by geography.

Open Data for Africa is the African Development Bank's continental data platform — part of the Africa Information Highway — providing economic, social, and development statistics for all African countries. It standardizes indicators so they can be compared across the continent.

While primarily a statistics portal, its country-level indicators join directly to administrative geography, making it a valuable source for thematic and choropleth mapping across Africa. Data is openly accessible.
