Africa Project

Spreadsheet:  You can access the spreadsheet by clicking the following link:  clique ici!
Directions:
  1.  Please do not change any formatting of the spreadsheet without prior approval.  Just input data for your country!  If you make a mistake, no worries, just see me for help:)
  2.  Make sure you scroll to the bottom and choose the tab (sheet) for the correct period, 4th/5th.
  3.  You should input data in French if possible.  If the words are clearly unfamiliar (like some industry, agriculture, and government vocabulary) then you may use English.  You may have to cut/paste from word for accents.
  4.  Some of the categories have been formatted for percents and numbers. 
  5. For categories that require more than one item to input (languages, religions, agriculture, industry, etc..)  include only the top 3-4 examples.
