Afrobarometer public-attitude surveys have been tracking citizen engagement on the continent for 25 years. This year’s African Insights report, the second in an annual series on high-priority topics, draws on data spanning the past decade, including the latest round of nationally representative surveys in 39 countries, representing the views of more than three-fourths of the continent’s population.

The analysis focuses on key indicators of citizen engagement: Voting, political party affiliation, political discussion, attending community meetings, joining with others to raise an issue, contacting leaders, and protesting.

The hybrid launch event will feature:

• A keynote address by Prof. E. Gyimah-Boadi, Afrobarometer Co-founder and Emeritus Board Chair
• A presentation of the report’s key findings by Rorisang Lekalake, Afrobarometer Senior Analyst and Methodologist
• A panel discussion with researchers, policy actors, and civil society leaders, moderated by Bernard Avle, General Manager of Ghana’s Citi FM and Citi TV

Confirmed panelists include:

– Haja Ramatulai Wurie (Minister of Technical and Higher Education, Sierra Leone)

– Sy Mamabolo (Chief Electoral Officer, Electoral Commission of South Africa)

– Audrey Gadzekpo (Emeritus Professor of Communications and Board Chair of CDD-Ghana)

– Farida Bemba Nabourema (Director of the Katutu Civil Rights Center)
