Poverty in a Rising Africa

The World Bank recently published an excellent and comprehensive study titled "Poverty in a Rising Africa" by Kathleen Beegle, Luc Christiaensen, Andrew Dabalen, and Isis Gaddis.  You can download the entire document without charge. 

The authors acknowledge serious problems in obtaining reliable and comparative data across Africa, but the report still offers useful and, in some cases, surprising conclusions.
