Survey of the Afghan People

DATES: June 2009 - June 2012
PARTNERS: The Asia Foundation
 
The Asia Foundation (TAF), with USAID’s support, conducts annual surveys of the Afghan people to measure popular perception of development, security, governance, rule of law, freedom of speech, economic growth, and other important topics.  TAF conducted the first survey in 2004, and will administer annual surveys through 2015.  Polling reaches all 34 provinces.  The polling data has become a respected source of information on public attitudes, which is used by policy makers, civil society organizations, donors, and journalists to gain a better perspective of Afghan views on current social, economic, and political issues.
