Key Development Research Involvement

Part of a team of Afrobarometer resource persons from Uganda (Hatchile consult), Benin (IREEP) that visited Brazzaville in July 2015 to explore the feasibility of conducting the Afrobarometer survey in Congo Brazzaville.

The team met over 16 state and non-state actors, including the media, academic, private enterprises, civil society, foreign missions and government affiliated institutions, with knowledge and experience in conducting national representative sample surveys in Congo, covering a wide array of topics, including health, governance, democracy, education, finance, and census – among others. 

We went ahead to work with the National Institute of Statistics (INS) to draw a nationally representative sample for Congo, but the Afrobarometer 2015 survey in Congo was not fielded due to technical and logistical reasons.  Hopefully it will be in a near future.
