African Transformation Index 1

The first African Transformation Index, launched in 2014 along with the ATR, was well received by stakeholders. Since then we have received both positive and constructive feedback from stakeholders that will inform the re-evaluation, re-design and upgrade of the next index. Following consultations with the World Bank and others in 2017, a number of areas were identified for revision and work initiated to address these. In 2018, we secured the necessary funding to design, upgrade and develop an upgraded ATI - the ATI 2. This new product will be based on feedback from our key players and is planned to be launched in 2020. ATI 2 will expand the DEPTH framework by developing specific indices for transformation pathways such as overall environment for growth and transformation, skills and technology transformation among others. We have engaged a data scientist and a senior economist to support the development of ATI 2. Work will commence in February 2019.
