@CBSSportsGolazo @JOYPAULIAN Why is the burden on Ghana to play in a manner that ‘allows’ England to score? Just like fifa rules, football has evolved and is evolving. I thought they are the ‘best’? Why did they not show class! Up Ghana!

Only one in six South Africans (17%) say members of their local government council “often” or “always” listen to what ordinary people have to say. @DDPdemocracy @afrobarometer @kaylanpk @MigrationProj @Evashneenaidu @WanjaMDouglas

On average, about half (49%) of Africans describe their personal living conditions as “fairly bad” or “very bad.” @afrobarometer @DDPdemocracy @WanjaMDouglas @JAppiahNyamekye @joeasunka @kaylanpk @Data4GovAfrica @Evashneenaidu

How welcoming are Africans to refugees? Well it's complicated. While 69% express tolerance toward asylum seekers, a similar share (70%) say their government should allow fewer or no #refugees at all into their country. @afrobarometer @DDPdemocracy @MigrationProj @JAppiahNyamekye @WanjaMDouglas

@IDS_UONBI @AFD_France @uonbi @UM6P_officiel @UCAD_Senegal @MandelaUCT Context is key to decision-making. I explore this in my @LinkedIn article

[IDS-UON @IDS_UONBI]

Decisions made without context rarely hold. Pressure exposes the gap.
In complex environments, results depend on how data, research, and operational realities are interpreted together.
The challenge is not access to information, but applying it with sound judgement. Through collaboration between four African institutions, TAL brings together research, policy insight, and practical experience to strengthen how outcomes are shaped.

(1/9) What do Africans say about access to clean water and safe sanitation, and what changes do they want to see?

These are some of the key questions being explored at the ongoing #VoicesAfrica webinar on “Closing Africa’s WASH Gap: Citizen Perspectives on Water and Sanitation,” co-hosted with the World Bank’s Economists for Transformation Network.

Our colleague Shannon van Wyk-Khosa (@shannonvanwyk) is unpacking insights from Afrobarometer’s latest Pan-Africa findings on water and sanitation across 38 countries.

Follow this thread for some of the key findings and discussions emerging from the webinar.

TAL doesn't happen in one room. It happens across a continent.
The 2026 cohort begins with a two-day online orientation, then moves in-person to two of Africa's most dynamic cities:
Kenya Residency, Nairobi: 14–18 September 2026
Morocco Residency, Rabat: 24–28 May 2027
Applications for 2026 are now open.

@bberryafrica @afrobarometer @AminaOyagbola Apt! I recently wrote, "What Kenya validates about Women’s Leadership in Peacebuilding."

Women hold the foundations of society. Why are there so many gaps in women's participation in decision-making spaces?

Great work @Afrobarometer @AminaOyagbola

Women's voices are still missing from too many decision-making spaces.

Episode 4 of the Voices Africa Podcast by @Afrobarometer features @AminaOyagbola as the conversation explores why gender gaps persist and where they're starting to close.
