Interactive Power BI dashboard and Python analysis of GDP growth, inflation, and per-capita income for Kenya vs. East African and continental peers (2015–2025), using World Bank WDI data. AnalystLab Africa Data Analyst Internship capstone project. # GDP Growth and Economic Performance: Kenya in East African and Global Context (2015–2025) Interactive Power BI dashboard and Python analysis of GDP growth, inflation, and per-capita income for Kenya versus East African and continental peers, built using World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) data. **AnalystLab Africa — Data Analyst Internship, Week 8 Capstone Project** --- ## 📌 Project Overview Kenya's economic trajectory is best understood in comparison — not isolation. This project analyzes GDP growth and related macroeconomic indicators for **Kenya** alongside six comparator economies (**Burundi, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda**), plus **Sub-Saharan Africa** and **World** benchmarks, across an eleven-year window (**2015–2025**). The goal: identify how Kenya's growth, price stability, and wealth-per-person compare to its peers, surface any notable shocks or turning points, and turn those findings into an interactive dashboard and a set of clear, evidence-based recommendations. ## 🎯 Objective - Apply the full data analytics workflow — cleaning, transformation, analysis, visualization — to a real-world development dataset. - Build an interactive Power BI dashboard with KPI cards, trend analysis, and comparative visualizations. - Generate insights and recommendations grounded in the data, not assumption. ## 🗂️ Dataset **Source:** World Bank — World Development Indicators (WDI) - Full extract: 396,970 rows × 70 columns (all countries, all indicators, 1960–2025) - Filtered to **9 geographic units** × **5 indicators** × **11 years (2015–2025)** **Indicators used:** | Code | Indicator | |---|---| | `NY.GDP.MKTP.CD` | GDP (current US$) | | `NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG` | GDP growth (annual %) | | `NY.GDP.PCAP.CD` | GDP per capita (current US$) | | `FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG` | Inflation, consumer prices (annual %) | | `NE.EXP.GNFS.ZS` | Exports of goods and services (% of GDP) | **Countries/regions:** Kenya, Burundi, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzan …
