Africa is by far the most neglected and (therefore) the most poor continent on the planet. Out of the 28 poorest countries in the world, 27 are in Africa.

Within Africa itself, poverty is primarily localized in Sub-Saharan Africa. Out of the ten most unequal countries in the world, seven are in Sub-Saharan Africa.
