The African Development Bank (AfDB) is a major developmental organization in Africa that uses information to quantify annual progress and target its policies. Its Africa Information Highway initiative facilitates and disseminates information and statistics across the continent. The program was started in November 2012 with the support of business analytics provider Prognoz as part of the Bank’s broader statistical capacity building program in Africa. It involves the development and installation of common IT platforms in all 54 countries and 16 sub-regional and regional organizations in Africa. The initiative will significantly revolutionize data management and dissemination in Africa, and better position the continent for more active participation in the global information economy.
