Loving how the technique brings out the terrain, sharp ridgelines, soft basins, and deep valleys all pop beautifully.

🟡 Mapping Africa's Aid Inequity: 15 years where global aid fell below average. 🚨

Using R, I visualized this disparity in an animated map. In 2005, Africa got just 4.9% of global aid, less than 1 in 20 dollars.
