Comparative Cross-National Surveys in Afrobarometer

Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan survey research network that has been conducting public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, the economy, and society since 1999. On a two- to three-year cycle, project national partners in about 35 African countries carry out face-to-face interviews with nationally representative samples, then analyze the data and disseminate the findings. The webinar will elaborate on the project’s experience in Africa, especially with landscape of very different levels of democracy, culture, and politics.
