PollsAfrica indices: budget promises and what the minimum wage buys
Each index is calculated from datasets we already publish. The formula is on the page, every input links to its source page, and a country with a missing input is listed as not yet covered, never estimated.

How we build an index
We use only figures already published on this site, each with a source link and retrieval date. We apply a fixed formula, show every input next to the result, and name the countries we cannot score. We do not add opinion, weights chosen by us or estimates for missing data. When an input is updated, the index is recalculated from the data and its edition date moves.
Free to use under CC BY 4.0. Each index has a CSV, open JSON and an embeddable chart. See all files on the datasets page and every change in the data changelog. Related: trackers.
