On 12 Apr at #GIGA Berlin Office and online: Happy to have Joseph Asunka presenting results of #Afrobarometer surveys on the state of #democracy, #DemocraticBacksliding & #AuthoritarianTurn in #Africa as part of GIGA Speaker Series on #AfricanAffairs.

Next was an insightful talk by Joseph Asunka on #Afrobarometer's approach to gauging public opinion in #Africa at #Harvard's Center for International #Development. The methodical work Afrobarometer does to accurately #survey a diverse, dispersed population is stunning, and hearing some of their results was informative. I also loved the callout to #TheContinent, the most consistently excellent news source I read https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeL4cGMZYlU&t=14s (4/9)

My latest article is here! I used geo-referenced #Afrobarometer data to try and measure the impact of large-scale mining on local communities across #Africa.
If you're interested in mineral governance, I think you might find this paper intriguing 🧐
