Afrobarometer Round 6: The Quality of Democracy and Governance in Gabon, 2015

Résumé 0

The Afrobarometer is a comparative series of public attitude surveys that collects and disseminates data regarding Africans' views on democracy, governance, the economy, civil society, and related issues. The data are collected from nationally representative samples in face-to-face interviews in the language of the respondent's choice. Standard topics for the Afrobarometer include attitudes toward and evaluations of democracy, governance and economic conditions, political participation, and national identity. In addition, Round 6 surveys included special modules on taxation; tolerance; crime, conflict and insecurity; political corruption; interregional relations; perceptions of China; use of technology; and social service delivery. This particular data collection was concerned with the attitudes and opinions of the citizens of Gabon, and also includes a number of "country-specific questions" designed specifically for respondents of the Gabon survey. These "country-specific questions" solicited respondents' opinions on topics such as citizens' contact with their parliamentary senator, performance of senators, level of aid from Central African aid organizations, how oil revenues should be used, who has the right to citizenship in Gabon and solutions to youth unemployment. The surveys also collect a large set of socio-demographic indicators such as age, gender, education level, poverty level, language and ethnicity, and religious affiliation, as well as political party affiliation. Afrobarometer Round 6 surveys were implemented in 36 countries.
