Postponed: Afrobarometer information session
POSTPONED.
The Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance will host a session on the Afrobarometer, a survey that provides robust and representative views of the adult population in 34 African countries on a range of key issues relating to, inter alia, governance, perceived performance of public institutions, service delivery, civil society engagement, public participation, leadership, corruption and democratic values. The survey provides empirically valid cross-sectional and longitudinal data to examine current and historical trends and patterns on these issues.
