Measurement, analyticsand ideology, among other factors, continue to affect how quality oflife is measured in Africa. Given the underdeveloped state of theAfrican continent, availability, reliability and consistency of data areessential elements in ensuring that measuring quality of life remainsa permanent work in progress.
