These three maps provide 3 different ways to look at development in Africa. Based on data from th UNited Nations Development Program (UNDP), these maps show rankings of African countries out of 179 countries studied worldwide.
The first map (1) groups the rankings of the African countries' HDI's in five classes. This shows a broad picture of countries with higher and lower HDI's distinctly. However, it doesnt show specific rankings for each country.
The 2nd map is to me the clearest of all three in that it shows the HDI for each country clearly while labelling the countries themselves. The smallerthe circle, the lower it is on the ranking. The larger the circle, the better its HDI or No information might be available.
The final map, is informative in showing what countries are leading in terms of HDI, but to people who do not know the African continent very well, the lack of country names can be a handicap.
