Participatory polling is an innovative action research methodology for public consultation, using a questionnaire that has been designed with the contribution of societal and political stakeholders. The results then serve as a basis for public dialogue and in support of the policy-making process.
This poll was confined to examining public perceptions and support for the revival of the democratization process, perceived potential challenges to the forthcoming democratization process, reflections on the suspended local elections, and views on women’s participation in decision-making.
The specific objectives of the poll were the following:
- To gauge public perceptions on the resumption of the democratization process
- To explore the potential challenges to the forthcoming democratization process
- To assess the public’s willingness to participate in future elections
- To weigh possible strategies that could strengthen women’s inclusion in government.
