The signing took place on the sidelines of the Africa Drive for<\/p>\n<p>Democracy Conference in Arusha, Tanzania<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to renew the Afrobarometer and ISS Africa MOU. We remain committed to advancing inclusive democratic governance for a peaceful and prosperous Africa,\u201d Akum said. ISS works with partners to build knowledge and skills that promote sustainable<\/p>\n<p>peace, development, and prosperity in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed MoU serves as a guiding framework for collaboration between Afrobarometer and ISS, facilitating joint efforts to engage mutual stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>The scope of collaboration spans various areas, including policy research and analysis, technical assistance to policymakers and civil society, capacity building, and policy dialogue. Leveraging Afrobarometer\u2019s rich trove of public attitude data, the two organisations will collaborate on crucial issues such as African futures and innovation; gender equality; governance; peace;<\/p>\n<p>and security; climate change and adaptation; globalism; and Africa\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited about this MoU and looking forward to building on our respective comparative<\/p>\n<p>advantages to move the accountable and responsive governance agenda in Africa forward,\u201d Asunka said.<\/p>\n<p>Afrobarometer is an independent pan-African research network that provides data on African citizens\u2019 values, evaluations, and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Under the previous MoU, ISS used Afrobarometer data to conduct analyses on security and election issues across the continent, leading to the publication of more than 30 policy briefs.<\/p>\n<p>and the inclusion of data in various policy events. Under the Futures Project, spearheaded by Jakkie Cilliers, Afrobarometer data played a vital role in extensive governance analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
