Produce a data set and public reports on public attitudes and behaviour with respect to political, economic and social issues in order to inform democracy, economic and other development programs
Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan research network that conducts public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues across more than 35 countries in Africa. Seven rounds of surveys were conducted between 1999 and 2016, and results of Round 7 surveys (2016/2017) are currently being released. Afrobarometer conducts face-to-face interviews in the language of the respondent’s choice with nationally representative samples of 2,400 respondents. The research focuses on governance, economic, social and political developments in these countries.
