We are an independent, non-partisan, pan-African research network that provides  reliable data on

African citizens’ experiences and evaluations of democracy, governance, the economy,  quality of life and many related issues. We believe that African societies thrive when African voices  count in public policy and development. Our principal objective is to give ordinary African citizens a  voice in policy making by capturing their experiences, evaluations, and perspectives and widely  disseminating the findings to policy makers, policy advocates, civil society organizations, academics,  news media, donors and investors, and ordinary Africans at the national, regional, continental, and  global levels.

We envisions a world in which Africa’s development is based on a deeper understanding of the realities  and preferences of its people; where governments, policy makers, thought leaders, funders, business   leaders, and activists anchor their work in reliable and timely data on what African citizens really need  and care about; and where citizens know that their voices count and claim their stake in the making of  policies that affect their lives.

Starting in 1999, We operated as a loose network for two decades, with its project management unit  housed at the Ghana Center for Democratic Development. Between 2018 and 2019, We underwent a  major organizational development process and has, since 2019, been incorporated as an independent  organization registered in Ghana with its own governing board, an international advisory committee, and  independent management structures.

In addition to the Secretariat, based in Ghana, Our network is comprised of three  Core Partners, each of which manages survey fieldwork and communications activities for a region or  regions of the continent (based in Nairobi, Cape Town and Accra), and National Partners in each  country where we work, who are the lead implementors of surveys and in-country communications.  Our Support Units are located at University of Cape Town and Michigan State University.
