Every African country, and how much we hold on it

Coverage is not even. Some countries carry all sixteen core datasets with recent surveys behind them; others carry six, and those six are years old. The bar on each card is that count, not a score.

Thin is not the same as small

The countries with the fewest datasets here are not the ones where least is happening. Conflict, funding and institutional capacity all suppress publication, so a short record is a fact about the statistics office rather than about the country.
