{"map":{"id":5,"slug":"gdp-per-capita-by-country-in-africa","title":"GDP per Capita by Country in Africa","description":"How does GDP per capita vary across Africa? This map illustrates the economic output per person for each African country, highlighting disparities in wealth distribution.","content":"GDP per capita is a measure of a country's economic output that accounts for its number of people. It is calculated by dividing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country by its population, providing an average economic productivity per person. This metric helps to compare the standard of living and economic well-being across different countries.\n\nIn Africa, GDP per capita varies significantly, with countries like Seychelles and Mauritius often showing higher values due to their developed tourism and financial sectors. Conversely, countries such as Burundi and Malawi tend to have lower GDP per capita, reflecting challenges such as limited industrialization and high population growth.\n\nUnderstanding GDP per capita is crucial for assessing economic development and planning policy interventions. It highlights areas needing investment and support, and it can influence decisions on aid, trade, and economic partnerships.\n\nThe data presented here is based on the latest available figures from international economic databases, reflecting estimates for the year 2022. Note that GDP per capita can fluctuate annually due to changes in GDP, population growth, and economic policies.","dataSources":"[{\"name\":\"World Bank / World Development Indicators / 2022\",\"url\":\"https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD\"}]","publishDate":"2026-03-19","viewLevel":"continent","viewRegion":"Africa","colorTheme":"blue","colorMode":"gradient","thresholds":"[]","groupColors":"{}","scrollable":true,"showLabels":true,"showNames":true,"showTable":true,"uniformColor":false,"createdAt":"2026-03-19T12:04:11.711Z"},"data":[{"id":137,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"SYC","regionName":"Seychelles","value":15980,"label":"$15980","group":null},{"id":138,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"MUS","regionName":"Mauritius","value":11200,"label":"$11200","group":null},{"id":139,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"NAM","regionName":"Namibia","value":5400,"label":"$5400","group":null},{"id":140,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"ZAF","regionName":"South Africa","value":5100,"label":"$5100","group":null},{"id":141,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"BWA","regionName":"Botswana","value":4900,"label":"$4900","group":null},{"id":142,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"GAB","regionName":"Gabon","value":4800,"label":"$4800","group":null},{"id":143,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"LBR","regionName":"Liberia","value":580,"label":"$580","group":null},{"id":144,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"BDI","regionName":"Burundi","value":270,"label":"$270","group":null},{"id":145,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"MWI","regionName":"Malawi","value":380,"label":"$380","group":null},{"id":146,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"NGA","regionName":"Nigeria","value":2400,"label":"$2400","group":null},{"id":147,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"KEN","regionName":"Kenya","value":2000,"label":"$2000","group":null},{"id":148,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"ETH","regionName":"Ethiopia","value":900,"label":"$900","group":null},{"id":149,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"ZWE","regionName":"Zimbabwe","value":1400,"label":"$1400","group":null},{"id":150,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"EGY","regionName":"Egypt","value":3900,"label":"$3900","group":null},{"id":151,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"DZA","regionName":"Algeria","value":4200,"label":"$4200","group":null},{"id":152,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"MAR","regionName":"Morocco","value":3300,"label":"$3300","group":null},{"id":153,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"TUN","regionName":"Tunisia","value":3500,"label":"$3500","group":null},{"id":154,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"GHA","regionName":"Ghana","value":2300,"label":"$2300","group":null},{"id":155,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"UGA","regionName":"Uganda","value":850,"label":"$850","group":null},{"id":156,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"TZA","regionName":"United Republic of Tanzania","value":1100,"label":"$1100","group":null},{"id":157,"mapId":5,"regionCode":"COD","regionName":"Dem.
