01In brief

What this area brings to the editions.

54 country profiles of the Index in Africa, each structured from the country (ADM0) down to ADM1 and ADM2 where licensed boundaries exist.

02Evidence path

From Foundry evidence to the series.

The evidence, step by step, from the systems this area reads to the series it feeds.

How Africa reaches Reports: what it reads, how it reads it, the sealed cut and the series it feeds.

StepWhat happensSource
01 What it readsAfrica reads NXS-GRX: governed sources with their releases, never a value without its source.
02 The cut is sealedEach quarter the evidence is sealed in one cut, so OBSERVED, REPORTED and ESTIMATED values stay apart and every edition can be rebuilt.
03 The series it feedsThe cut feeds Country Quarterly and Country Systems Risk and Resilience, from the Baseline Edition 2026 into the quarterly series.
04 Who decidesDecisions stay with the authorities that hold them, under their own rules; an edition informs a decision and never makes it.

A teaching model of the evidence path, not a forecast and not a record of any run; the systems, methods and series named come from the registries. Sources: Africa in Reports (2026); Africa home (2026).

Mirrors and harvest

The DOI is canonical. At release each signed bundle is also given an IPFS content identifier and a bloxberg anchor as mirrors; both are listed in the record once they exist. Zenodo exposes every record over OAI-PMH, and reviews and endorsements can arrive through COAR Notify where the repository supports it.
