One page per lending country or group: what Africa owes it, what it lends and gives, and what it builds. Each card shows what African governments owe its creditors at the end of 2024 (the World Bank series every profile uses) and how that moved since 2000; the bar is on one scale across all twelve, the longest China's.
Lender profiles are deep dives too: the pages on a theme are under Deep dives, and Seven lenders side by side puts seven of these lenders on one map.
