Portal of Public Use Datasets on Sub-Saharan Africa
This data portal was created by the NBER Africa Project, co-directed by Sebastian Edwards, Simon Johnson, and David N. Weil, as a way to systematize public-use data on Sub-Saharan Africa. There are hundreds of datasets available on the internet but no easy way to find them, or to know at a glance what they contain.
This portal categorizes datasets with tags for easy searching. For example, if you select "Botswana" and "governance" then click search, datasets with both of those tags will appear in the results. For convenience, tags are sorted by type, source, keyword, and country.
