Data Freshness

How current is the data at Africa Data Bank? Lag = current year − latest year with observations. Forecast series are excluded from lag, but shown separately.

Lag reflects upstream publisher release schedules, not ingestion delay. WB WDI typically lags 18-24 months, DHS Program 2-3 years, IMF WEO within 6 months. We pull each source as soon as new vintages publish.
