Survey
Public Opinion in Ghana 1997
This first IFES-sponsored survey in Ghana analyzes the opinion environment in the country – the views of the public on political and economic developments, government, civil society and organizations, and information sources. Findings are based on the IFES nationwide opinion survey fielded in Ghana from February to April 1997. The Executive Summary consists of major findings providing an overview of the survey data. This survey was undertaken for the following reasons: 1. Following the December 7, 1996 presidential and parliamentary elections, it was important to the Electoral Commission to learn the public’s attitude toward the electoral process outside the heated atmosphere of the election campaign. The information contained in the survey data will inform the Electoral Commission on how it can improve the administration of elections in Ghana. 2. It is important that periodic measurements of the public’s attitudes toward issues be taken not only on election day, but between elections as well. The most effective means of doing this is through attitudinal surveys. 3. IFES was in a unique position to conduct such a survey. Over the past few years, IFES has conducted a number of national attitudinal surveys on the democratic process in new and restored democracies.
