Recent Afrobarometer Round 8 Ethiopia findings on federalism and the Constitution have sparked a lot of debate on social media. Afrobarometer does not involve itself in partisan debates, but we do value feedback, and this thread offers a few clarifying points for consideration.
Afrobarometer is a pan-African,nonpartisan survey research network that provides reliable data on African experiences and evaluations of democracy,governance,and quality of life.We started in 12 African countries in 1999.Round 8 surveys (2019/21) are planned in about 35 countries
Afrobarometer& #39;s goal is to give the public a voice in policy-making by providing high-quality public opinion data to policymakers, policy advocates, civil society organizations, academics, news media, donors and investors, and ordinary Africans.
Where and how does Afrobarometer get its data?
A national partner in each country conducts the survey. With support from Freedom House, the Afrobarometer team in Ethiopia, led by ABCON–Research & Consulting, interviewed 2,400 adult Ethiopians in December 2019 and January 2020.

Afrobarometer is perhaps best known for its rigorous methodological standards. We do face-to-face interviews with randomly selected respondents who as a group are representative of the country. Every adult Ethiopian had an equal chance of being selected for an interview.
For those who question whether 2,400 respondents can represent the opinions of an entire country, or who suggest that we only interview supporters of a certain ideology, we encourage you to read about our methodology here: https://bit.ly/32y9Rn8 .">https://bit.ly/32y9Rn8&q...
