Published data for such countries usually represent estimates based on neighbouring countries at similar levels of GNP per capita.</TD> </TR> </TABLE></CENTER> <BR>  <CENTER><TABLE COLS=6 WIDTH="84%" > <CAPTION><B><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica"><FONT SIZE=-1>Average age of data (in years) on the three social indicators</FONT></FONT></B></CAPTION> <TR> <TD COLSPAN="6"><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1><B>SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA</B></FONT></TD> <TR> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Senegal</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 1.0</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva"><FONT SIZE=-1>Kenya</FONT></FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva"> 3.0</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Guinea</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1> 6.7</FONT></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Malawi</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 1.3</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Niger</FONT></TD></FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 3.3</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Botswana</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 7.3</FONT></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Uganda</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 1.3</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Mali</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 4.0</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Sierra Leone</FONT></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" FONT SIZE=-1> 7.7 </FONT></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva" SIZE=-1>Congo, Dem.
