Early access to data sets

We welcome applications from graduates or research students based at African institutions and from African students based at overseas institutions for access to full country data sets prior to their general release.

We do not generally grant early access to researchers or academics/faculty. However, we will consider applications from people working directly with Afrobarometer funders and/or local organisations/NGOs that would make beneficial use of the data in planning development interventions.

 

Access to geocoded data

African and non-African users alike can also apply for access to restricted data (e.g. geocoded data) from publicly released data sets. Because we take data security seriously, we only grant access to users who undertake a personal commitment to use our data securely.

If you wish to gain early access to any data or access to restricted data, please complete the data request form.
