Afrobarometer Working Papers
Afrobarometer is an independent, nonpartisan research project that measures the social, political and economic atmosphere in Africa. Its surveys are conducted in more than a dozen African countries and are repeated at a regular cycle. They compare countries systematically and track trends in public attitudes. The Afrobarometer Working Papers provide information on the perception of democracy in Africa, commenting on elections, governance and political identities.
