Various visual aids such as maps and photos are available, as are links to external sources such as Google Earth. There are also links to news items in the mainstream media that are relevant to a particular story. Regular and concise newsletters provide updates to the latest research added to or amended on the site. Marry that kind of information together and you have the beginnings of a useful tool.
As a subscription-based service, AfDevInfo can be paid for annually or quarterly. Institutions pay as little as [pounds sterling]375 a year, and the quarterly charge for individual subscribers is [pounds sterling]40. In accordance with the organisation's ethic of "supporting accountable and transparent government throughout Africa", the site is free of charge for Africans.
