Evaluation of Afrobarometer’s Regional Programme 2011–2017

This evaluation of Afrobarometer was commissioned by the Embassy of Sweden in Addis Ababa and undertaken by NIRAS duringthe period from November 2017 to February 2018. In addition to informing the design of the next phase of Swedish support toAfrobarometer (2018–2022), the evaluation also serves a broader learning process aimed at bolstering Afrobarometer’s futuresustainability. The evaluation recommends that Sida proceeds with support to Afrobarometer largely as planned for the comingphase. Decentralisation, agility and flexibility have served Afrobarometer well, so reforms should ensure that these benefits arenot lost, due to the need to adapt to the diversity of capacities, roles and structures of national partners.
