Dear Hrvoje, Thanks for the proposition to create new offline data downloads for OsmAnd. I would suggest to also add Kenya, Chad and Burundi, as we deployed there through the DG ECHO funded Eurosha project ( http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/eurosha_0) and trained a lot of organizations of different kinds (local authorities, gov, UN, Ngos, academics, OS community, civil society...) on OSM. The people having a smartphone there would really like to have the OsmAnd data for their country that I could show them on my device, but 343 Mo for all Africa is quite huge for them to download considering the connection there is often slow. Tomorrow is even a large feedbackl presentation in front of 100-200 stakeholders here in N'Djamena, then 2 days of open source softs, and a lot of techy people would really like have OSM data on their Android smartphone.
