Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan research network that conducts public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues in more than 35 countries in Africa. Afrobarometer surveys collect and publish high-quality, reliable statistical data on Africa, which is freely available to the public.
The latest round of the Afrobarometer Survey (Round 7 - 2016/2018), for the first time, collected also opinions and perceptions around land-related issues, including women land rights and corruption in the land sector.
The Land Portal presents only a subset of the data gathered during the 7th round of the Afrobarometer survey, focusing only on indicators that are land-related.
For instance, corruption in the land sector emerged as a crucial and widespread concern, with almost four of every five respondents believing that is likely or very likely that:
a rich persons could pay a bribe or use personal connections to get away with registering land that does not belong to them.
