A majority (62%) of Africans say women should be able to decide for themselves how many children to have and when to have them. But men aren't quite as sure about this as women (55% vs. 69%). See our latest @thecontinent_ piece for more. #VoicesAfrica #Gender #ReproductiveHealth

According to #Afrobarometer Men with MoMo account: 64% Women with MoMo account: 56% But check your phone right now and see who the “Send me MoMo” message is going to. Hmm. The math is not mathing. 😂 #financialinclusion

According to @afrobarometer Round 10 data, 72% of young people (18–35) say they have considered leaving Ghana. Ahead of our upcoming X Space, "To Borga or Not: Migration, Survival, and the Ghanaian Dream", we spoke with Fafa, a student at Ho Technical University, to hear her perspective on migration.

Across 24 African countries #Afribarometer : China's influence remains positive. The U.S. loses ground. Russia gains visibility, but not dominance. African citizens are not choosing sides blindly. They’re assessing impact! That’s what makes this data powerful!

Across 38 #African countries (2024/25), overwhelming majorities reject authoritarian alternatives: • 79% oppose dictatorship • 76% oppose one-party rule The democratic norm remains strong at the citizen level. The real question is whether institutions are keeping pace.

21st Century! Women are still more likely to lack formal education across #Africa says, #Afrobarometer. In some countries, the gap is loud, loud. This isn’t culture. It’s policy choices. Education gaps don’t close by themselves! #Gender #Policy #education #Closethegap

Ghana fuo (and Africa at large), the youth have spoken, oh. #Afrobarometer Almost half say: create JOBS first. Not slogans! Jobs. Skills. Capital. Anything else is just noise. #YouthUnemployment #Ghana #JobsNow #Accountability #Governance #priorities

Ghana fuo, this should worry us, oh. #Afrobarometer data shows 9 in 10 citizens think many or all judges and magistrates are corrupt!!. Justice must be trusted. Right now, that trust is bleeding! #Ghana #JusticeSystem #Corruption #RuleOfLaw

Democracy isn’t self-correcting. It relies on citizens who question, challenge, and refuse to look away. When citizens go quiet, power gets careless. Read the quote again slowly! #GhanaPolitics #Democracy #Accountability #ActiveCitizenship #HoldPowerAccountable

More than HALF of Africans say corruption got worse this past year. Only 1 in 5 think things improved. This isn’t just a statistic, it’s a warning. If leaders won’t act, citizens will remember! #Corruption #GoodGovernance #Accountability #AfricaData #Afrobarometer #EndImpunity

@Beno10_MFC The neck collar of the shirt is down for image on the left , and then up on the image on the right!

What's that difference in the photo?? 🤨🤓

#FridayThots It’s not just inflation. It’s frustration! 82% of #Africans say their govt's are doing badly at keeping prices stable. Only 23% think jobs are being created. The economic pulse is weak, & citizens can feel it. How long can #democracy thrive when pockets stay empty?

@HKwasiP: "When we democratize shapes how we democratize.’ A reminder that Africa’s democratic journey is not just about elections, but about building justice and fairness into the system. #DemocracyDay #DemocracyInAfrica #AfricaDemocracy #EconJustice #DemocraticGovernance

On #DemocracyDay, this report looks at the conceptual & historical aspects of economic justice & democracy and at African alternatives that go beyond liberal democracy. It argues that it’s time for Africans to decolonize and liberate their understanding of democracy. #Africa
