  This year’s Africa Development Indicators, which covers some 1,700 macro economic, sectoral, and human development indicators dating to the 1960s, comes at a critical time for Sub-Saharan Africa’s 48 countries and 841 million people. After a decade of economic growth at nearly 5 percent a year, Africa—along with the rest of the world— was hit hard by the global economic crisis, but it rebounded within a year. In 2011 the continent’s growth is expected to return to pre crisis levels. The poverty rate has been declining at about 1 percentage point a year, and progress on the Millennium Development Goals, while insufficient to reach the 2015 targets in many countries, has been substantial.
