Abstract

This paper reviews relevant national statistics data sources in 18 African countries, and assesses whether these countries are “data ready” for investment impact analysis using the OECD Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) framework. The ICIO framework allows to gauge not only the distributional impact of investment within a country, but also cross-border spillovers through regional and global value chain linkages. Minimum requirements for data readiness include the availability and quality of Supply and Use Tables, Input-Output Tables, National Accounts statistics (such as GDP, consumption, and investment), and trade and Balance of Payments statistics. The results identify a group of countries that are well positioned for investment impact assessment analysis, while highlighting data gaps and possible areas for capacity building activities under the Africa Virtual Investment Platform (AVIP) programme of work, a joint initiative of the African Union Commission and the OECD to improve transparency in information on investment in Africa.
