Afrobarometer
The Afrobarometer project measures the social, political, and economic
atmosphere in Africa. Since beginning in Zambia in 1993, surveys have
been conducted in Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Namibia, Nigeria, Malawi,
South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Additional countries to be surveyed
in 2002 and beyond include Senegal, Cabo Verde and Mozambique. Topics
covered in the survey include Democracy, Governance, Livelihoods, Macro-economics
and Markets, Social Capital, Conflict and Crime, Participation and National
Identity. Led by MSU, the Afrobarometer involves the core partners of
The Institute for Democracy in South Africa and the Centre for Democratic
Development (Ghana). This project has been supported by funds from the
National Science Foundation, the United States Agency for International
Development, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency,
the Danish Governance Trust Fund at the World Bank, Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation and Michigan State University. For additional information,
