National macro data anchored to World Bank and IMF. History from 2000, forecasts to 2035.
to proprietary subnational intelligence
Working over 25 years across African markets and multiple sectors, one problem kept recurring. Africa data is hard to find. And when you find it, it's hard to structure and clean. Let alone forecast.
It is scattered across multiple disparate sources — in different formats, different time horizons, with many gaps, requiring hours of data capture and cleaning before any analysis can begin.
Pan Africa Data solves for this in two layers. First, we aggregate national data from reputable sources including the World Bank and UN, clean and structure it across all 54 African countries, and update it quarterly. Then we go further — using our Africa-specific models, we build proprietary sub-national data that does not exist anywhere else: income distribution and population by income class across three geographic layers — national, city (functional cities / economic sheds) and locality/suburb — spanning 338 cities and 2,000+ localities, forecast to 2035.
This is not aggregation. This is original data production — built on 25 years of African market experience and anchored to World Bank and IMF projections. The result is the only platform that takes you from national headline numbers all the way down to city- and locality-level income dynamics across the entire continent.
