Main Finding (I)
• 44 African countries that have responded to the survey
• 38 countries indicated that they have formulated or are in the
process of formulating national actions plans for implementing
the 2008 SNA.
• Most of the countries with completed national action plans have
begun taking concrete follow-up actions for implementation.
• 34 countries have identified a timeframe for transitioning towards
the 2008 SNA
o 12 countries have selected a timeframe between 2010 and 2014 and the
remaining
o 22 counties will begin transitioning towards the 2008 SNA between 2015
and 2018

training, technical assistance, and financial supports. The most
cited activities for these assistance and supports are as follows:

Function of the survey results
• Provide useful information for development partners,
international, regional, and sub-regional organizations to design

Collection and processing of source data: e.g. Survey of
Pre-SNA
intermediate consumption; Survey of informal sector; Survey
of household consumption, etc.
SNA boundaries
SNA 2008 compliance -- for production and asset
Pre-SNA
boundaries: The SNA 2008 conceptual compliance
questionnaire is achieved; especially important in this is
covering non-observed economy and more specifically the
informal sector. This requires action on many areas.

Employment matrix Employment matrix: Labor input matrix is compiled for these

categories and institutional sectors. This is important in the
context of achieving GDP exhaustiveness (e.g. taking into
account the informal sector).

GDP (P) by Production approach GDP – by industrial economic activities:
1
industries Identify the industry groups (compilation categories) according to
ISIC Rev 4 classification that are relevant for the country for which
estimates of GO, IC and GVA and GVA components would be
compiled. These can be at 1/2/3/4 digit ISIC 4 or a combination of
these depending on the relevance to the country.
GDP (P) by Production approach GDP-- by institutions: The GO, IC, GVA and
1
institutions GVA components estimated for these categories would be compiled
separately for (a) general government (within this separately for
administrative departments and departmental enterprises), (b)
financial corporations, (c) non-financial corporations, (d)
households and if possible also for (e) NPISHs;
GDP (E)
Expenditure approach GDP: Expenditure side estimates are
1
compiled for various categories for the overall economy; HFCE and
GFCE will be according to purpose classifications of COICOP and
COFOG, respectively, but it should be possible to convert these data
to compilation categories.
