BP36: Despite economic growth, Tanzanians still dissatisfied
Tanzanians are unhappy with the country’s economic conditions and their own living conditions, and they still experience high levels of lived poverty.

WP95: Voting in Kenya: Putting ethnicity in perspective
Do Kenyans vote according to ethnic identities or policy interests? Based on results from a national probability sample survey conducted in December 2007, this article shows that, while ethnic origins drive voting patterns, elections in Kenya amount to more than a mere ethnic census.

WP98: The material and political bases of lived poverty in Africa: Insights from the Afrobarometer

PP9: L’état d’esprit des Maliens reflète un regain d’espérance
L’enquête Afrobaromètre de décembre 2012 a révélé que les trois quarts des citoyens maliens craignaient que le pays n’aille dans la « mauvaise direction ». À cette époque, plongés dans une crise nationale profonde, la plupart des Maliens envisageaient l’avenir avec pessimisme. Un an plus tard, cependant, une enquête de suivi dévoile un regain d’espoir dans l’avenir. En décembre 2013, les deux tiers des Maliens considèrent que le pays se dirige dans la « bonne direction ».
WP20: Down to earth: Changes in attitudes toward democracy and markets in Nigeria
The second in a series of public opinion surveys in Nigeria on popular attitudes toward democracy and markets was conducted in August 2001. The findings indicate that in the 18 months since the first survey was conducted shortly after the 1999 transition to democracy, Nigerians have come "down to earth" in their assessments of the country's political conditions as post-transition euphoria has given way to greater political realism.

De nouvelles conclusions de l’Afrobaromètre, tirées d’enquêtes réalisées dans 34 pays – chiffre sans précédent – entre octobre 2011 et juin 2013,1 révèlent un mécontentement général vis-à-vis des conditions économiques actuelles, et ce malgré une décennie de forte croissance.
