Two studies recently published in Nature highlight disparities in education and nutrition across the African continent from 2000 to 2015.
Both studies, which were conducted by researchers at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington (and included researchers from the Oxford BDI), map the continent in 5X5 square kilometres. Mapping at this level of detail reveals inequalities which are often hidden by maps at national and provincial level and can help identify programme and policy successes and failures at the local level.
