  abstract = {{T}his paper makes a first attempt to estimate the evolution of income inequality in {A}frica from 1990 to 2017 by combining surveys, tax data and national accounts in a systematic manner. {T}he low quality of the raw data calls for a lot of caution. {R}esults suggest that income inequality in {A}frica is very high, and stands at par with {L}atin {A}merica or {I}ndia in that respect. {S}outhern and {C}entral {A}frica are particularly unequal. {T}he bulk of continent-wide income inequality comes from the within country component, and the between country component was even slightly reduced in the two last decades, due to higher growth in poorer countries. {I}nequality was rather stable over the period, with the exception of {S}outhern {A}frica. {D}ualism between agriculture and other sectors and mining rents seem to be important determinants of inequality.},
