World Bank

The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans to developing countries for capital programs. The World Bank Group has set two goals for the world to achieve by 2030: end extreme poverty by decreasing the percentage of people living on less than $1.25 a day to no more than 3%; promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40% for every country. According to its Articles of Agreement all its decisions must be guided by a commitment to the promotion of foreign investment and international trade and to the facilitation of capital investment.

      Data cited at: The World Bank https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/ Topic: Africa Development For Entrepreneurship Publication: https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/dataset/africa-development-entrepreneurship License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   The African Data for Entrepreneurs Initiative uses household level datasets available at the World Bank to create summary indicators useful for entrepreneurs in Africa creating or growing their businesses. There are two main sources of data: Listening to Africa and National Household Survey Datasets. Listening to Africa L2A is a collaboration with national statistical offices and NGOs in sub-Saharan Africa to pilot the use of mobile phones to regularly collect information on living conditions. The approach combines face-to-face surveys with follow up mobile phone interviews to collect data that allows welfare monitoring. L2A surveys for Senegal, Madagascar, and Malawi were adapted specifically to collect data that would be valuable for entrepreneurs and thus these data have a richer set of indicators. National Household Survey Datasets Countries national statistical offices regularly carry out general household surveys to collect information about the living standards of households more broadly. While these datasets are more broadly available, they may have less information that would be particularly relevant for entrepreneurs.
