Afrobarometer Round 7
Summary of Results for Uganda, 2017
Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan research network that conducts public
attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues in
countries across Africa. Six rounds of surveys were conducted between 1999 and 2015,
and Round 7 surveys are being carried out in 2016-2017. Afrobarometer conducts face-to-
face interviews in the language of the respondent’s choice with nationally representative
samples of 1,200 or 2,400 respondents.
Afrobarometer is produced collaboratively by social scientists from across Africa.
Coordination is provided by the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) in Ghana, the
Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) in South Africa, the Institute for Development
Studies (IDS) at the University of Nairobi in Kenya, and the Institute for Empirical Research in
Political Economy (IREEP) in Benin. Michigan State University (MSU) and the University of
Cape Town (UCT) provide technical support to the network.
The Afrobarometer National Partner in Uganda, Hatchile Consult Limited, interviewed a
nationally representative, random, stratified probability sample of 1,200 adult Ugandans
from 26 December 2016 and 8th January 2017. A sample of this size yields country-level
results with a margin of error of +/-3% at a 95% confidence level. Previous surveys have
been conducted in Uganda in 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2012 and 2015. IDS, University Of
Nairobi provided technical backstopping for the survey. Technical details of the survey,
including descriptions of stratification and household selection, translation languages, and
related information, can be found in the survey Technical Information Form that follows.
Below is an outline of the survey findings from all the questions posed to respondents. We
also present the findings by some critical demographics such as gender and place of
residence (urban-rural).
Financial support for Afrobarometer Round 7 has been provided by the Swedish
International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the National Endowment for
Democracy, and the World Bank.
