WIDER Weminar | Afrobarometer and SDG Scorecards
Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan survey research network that provides
reliable data on African experiences and evaluations of democracy, governance, and quality
of life. Its goal is to give the public a voice in policymaking by ensuring access to
high-quality public opinion data and analysis for policymakers, policy advocates, civil
society organizations, academics, news media, donors and investors, and ordinary
Africans.
Joseph Asunka, Afrobarometer chief executive officer, will introduce SDG
Scorecards<https://afrobarometer.org/sdg> that highlight citizens' experiences
and evaluations of their country's performance against 12 of the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals.
