Afrobarometer

Afrobarometer (AB) is a pan-African network that has been collecting data on citizens’ opinions about democracy, governance, and public service quality since 1999. Previously a project of CDD-Ghana, Afrobarometer registered as an independent charitable organization in Ghana in 2019. Its recent strategic planning process has crystallized AB’s overall goal to make citizen voices a key pillar of Africa policy and decision making. In addition, it has identified three impact goals: (a) produce high-quality survey data and analysis on African attitudes, experiences, and aspirations; (b) widely disseminate findings to Africa-related policy and development actors; and (c) build capacity for survey research, analysis, and communication, especially among the youth on the continent. This grant will contribute to enable AB to complete its Round 9 (R9) surveys; plan and start R10 surveys; analyze and disseminate survey results; and strengthen the capacity of young African scholars in research, quantitative analysis, and communication. During this grant period, AB will continue and expand its surveys and analysis to inform policy and development decisions at national, regional, and global levels. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)

Previously a project of CDD-Ghana, Afrobarometer registered as an independent charitable organization in Ghana in 2019. With this grant, Afrobarometer will produce analytical products that elevate African citizens’ opinions and priorities on contemporary issues that directly affect their lives. Afrobarometer will expand the number of users of its databases and thematic briefs in media, government, civil society, and academia; it will also track how its products are being used or influence development policies and priorities in Africa.
