Description: An R API providing access to a relational database with
        macroeconomic data for Africa. The database contains >700
        macroeconomic time series from mostly international sources,
        grouped into 50 macroeconomic and development-related topics.
        Series are carefully selected on the basis of data coverage for
        Africa, frequency, and relevance to the macro-development
        context. The project is part of the 'Kiel Institute Africa
        Initiative'
        <https://www.ifw-kiel.de/institute/initiatives/kiel-institute-africa-initiative/>,
        which, amongst other things, aims to develop a parsimonious
        database with highly relevant indicators to monitor
        macroeconomic developments in Africa, accessible through a fast
        API and a web-based platform at
        <https://africamonitor.ifw-kiel.de/>. The database is
        maintained at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy
        <https://www.ifw-kiel.de/>.
