Afrobarometer Round 7

Summary of Results for Uganda, 2017

Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan research network that conducts public

attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues in

countries across Africa. Six rounds of surveys were conducted between 1999 and 2015,

and Round 7 surveys are being carried out in 2016-2017. Afrobarometer conducts face-to-

face interviews in the language of the respondent’s choice with nationally representative

samples of 1,200 or 2,400 respondents.

Afrobarometer is produced collaboratively by social scientists from across Africa.

Coordination is provided by the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) in Ghana, the

Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) in South Africa, the Institute for Development

Studies (IDS) at the University of Nairobi in Kenya, and the Institute for Empirical Research in

Political Economy (IREEP) in Benin. Michigan State University (MSU) and the University of

Cape Town (UCT) provide technical support to the network.

The Afrobarometer National Partner in Uganda, Hatchile Consult Limited, interviewed a

nationally representative, random, stratified probability sample of 1,200 adult Ugandans

from 26 December 2016 and 8th January 2017. A sample of this size yields country-level

results with a margin of error of +/-3% at a 95% confidence level. Previous surveys have

been conducted in Uganda in 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2012 and 2015. IDS, University Of

Nairobi provided technical backstopping for the survey. Technical details of the survey,

including descriptions of stratification and household selection, translation languages, and

related information, can be found in the survey Technical Information Form that follows.

Below is an outline of the survey findings from all the questions posed to respondents. We

also present the findings by some critical demographics such as gender and place of

residence (urban-rural).

Financial support for Afrobarometer Round 7 has been provided by the Swedish

International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the National Endowment for

Democracy, and the World Bank.

Q61C. In your opinion, to what extent do the armed forces of our country: Operate in a

Let’s talk for a moment about the kind of society you would like to have in this country. Some people say

that, in order to enjoy security from violence in our society, we must limit the amount of freedom that

citizens are allowed to enjoy. Others say that political liberty is too important to sacrifice and must always

be maintained, even if it threatens the security of the country.


Statement 1: Even if faced with threats to public security, people should be free to move about the country

at any time of day or night.

Statement 2: When faced with threats to public security, the government should be able to impose curfews

and set up special roadblocks to prevent people from moving around.

Statement 1: Government should be able to monitor private communications, for example on mobile

phones, to make sure that people are not plotting violence.

Statement 2: People should have the right to communicate in private without a government agency

reading or listening to what they are saying.


Statement 1: Freedom of religion and worship are absolute, meaning that government should never limit

what is said in a place of worship.

Statement 2: Government should have the power to regulate what is said in places of worship, especially if

preachers or congregants threaten public security.


Statement 1: Our country should be governed primarily by religious law.

Statement 2: Our country should be governed only by civil law.
