#statistiques #Afrique

Six African countries have not conducted a census in over 20 years: Angola and Western Sahara (44 years); the Democratic Republic of Congo and Eritrea (30); Somalia (27); and Madagascar (21).
Only 16 African countries scored above 70 for statistical capacity, a measure of the competence of national statistical systems based on criteria consistent with international recommendations.
Scores range from 0 to 100 (best). Egypt achieved the highest statistical capacity score at 90. Eleven countries scored under 50 with Somalia scoring the lowest in Africa at 24. South Africa scored 77.
