In 2007, the African Economic Outlook's focus was on Access to Drinking Water and Sanitation. This edition was launched in Shanghai, at the African Development Bank Annual Meetings.
This report is a unique tool for African and OECD-based decision makers from the public and private sector, including aid agencies, investors, and government officials of aid-recipient countries.
The African Economic Outlook is an African Development Bank, OECD Development Centre and Economic Commission for Africa joint project. It also benefits from the generous support of the European Commission.
The detailed statistics, tables and charts contained in the report are available via the StatLinks printed in the book (EXCEL™).
