You can say some things about Africa. Electricity and connectivity are always more expensive. It's one of the most expensive data and infrastructure markets in the world.
Of course, there is massive variability as Africa is huge and diverse. But the entire continent has more expensive power than say, Germany, or something.
Also, stuff that is human powered (food, tailoring, etc.) are much cheaper. Again, lots of variability, but food in Ghana is going to be cheaper than food in say, Germany, or the US. Although you can certainly get expensive stuff in some areas (SA, TZ, etc.).
