Afrobarometer is an African organization that conducts research and surveys of public opinion of ordinary Africans regarding issues of democracy, human rights, and other topics. It started in 1999 and Sida has supported them from the start. The partnerAfrobarometer (AB) submitted, 29 July 2022, a funding propsal for core support for the five year period 2023-2027 and requesting 160 MSEK from Sida for the whole period (78% increase compared to current levels of Sida funding; see more under budget). A revised proposal was submitted 17 August 2022. Afrobarometer has been a cooperation partner to Sida ever since it was established in 1999 (although AB was only established as its own legal entity in 2019; before that it was housed under the organization CDD-Ghana with which Sida entered into agreement with before AB's establishment in 2019). AB is a non-profit entity headquartered in Ghana. It is a pan-African survey research network that conducts public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, the economy, and society. 39 countries have been surveyed since its start in 1999. The network encompasses more than 30 national partners responsible for data collection, analysis, and in-country dissemination of findings. Regional coordination is provided by the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) in South Africa, and the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Michigan State University (MSU) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) provide technical support to the network. Important donors, other than Sida, are USAID, USIP, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, OSF, Gates Foundation, Mastercard, WB, GIZ and more. The interventionAB is seeking core support from Sida and the current aid modality has been a hybrid core/project support, with non-earmarked funding, but with audit terms of reference normally used for project support, i.e. ISA 800/805 as well as ISRS 4400. Sida support will be non-earmarked and could contribute to all AB's work streams including staffing and adminstration. AB's work in the 2023-2027 period their proposal covers focus on rounds 10, 11 and part of 12 of its surveys. More specifically the period will include: i) field surveys in at least 40 African countries; ii) develop a credible phone survey methodology; iii) implement essential capacity-building programs; iv) develop, sustain and expand AB’s analytic and signature products; v) widely disseminate survey results with a focus on expanding our audiences and uptake; vi) continue and deepen outreach to the African Union and its allied bodies, sub-regional economic communities, as well as universities; and vii) collaborate with the media and identifiable civil society and advocacy groups, notably women, youth and minority groups to extend our reach and impact.Most recent evaluation of ABThe most recent evaluation that have been done on AB is an evaluation conducted by Niras (commissioned by Sida) and dated 30 Nov. 2021.
