Eight survey rounds in up to 39 countries have been completed since 1999. Round 9 surveys (2021\/2023) are currently underway. Afrobarometer\u2019s national partners conduct face-to-face interviews in the language of the respondent\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n<p>The Afrobarometer team in Liberia, led by the Center for Democratic Governance (CDG), interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,200 adult citizens between 25 August and 2 September 2022. A sample of this size yields country-level results with a margin of error of +\/-3 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
