African development thread

This thread will be a repository containing information on Africa for people interested in Africa's development.

I felt that you guys needed to know how the whole continent is shaping up, so I've made this thread for your leisure.

How this thread will work:

Each country, institution and major source will occupy a spot in the spoiler below, and every post made in reference to any country or institution will have its post number and a link to that specific post attached to an index in the spoiler. This will make it much easier for you to access the thread as it becomes more convoluted in the future.

Indexes

Spoiler

Every week I’ll compile a collection of posts containing videos on Africa and articles from the Economist, FT, Bloomberg or any other major source.

In another spoiler below, I’ll create indexes for each week and each week will have entries consisting of the post numbers and relevant links to the posts made.

Spoiler

Types of information this thread will contain:

•

News on projects underway/proposed

•

General news on the development of specific African countries

•

Economic statistics on Africa

•

News on Africa as a whole or anything else pertaining to Africa’s development that I haven't already stated

I'll be updating this thread once a week.

If any of you wanna help that's fine just make sure to index everything accordingly.

This thread is still under construction.

How this thread will work:

Each country, institution and major source will receive an index, this will allow you to navigate this thread through the search function more efficiently. I will continue to add new index's later on.
