What current imbalance? Neither Afrinic nor any other RIR has a policy 
allowing IP addresses to be transferred in or out of Africa. Current 
state is 0 in, 0 out.

You could start with the number of addresses allocated pre-Afrinic, by 
ARIN and RIPE, to African networks, but I don't see the point.

If an inter-RIR transfer policy is approved, with a control mechanism, 
then each day, week, or month, Afrinic would report the number of 
addresses it has registered as transfers from another RIR, and the 
number of addresses to another RIR. If transfers From ever exceeds 
transfers To, then addresses are flowing out.
