The WAPOR-SSA, with secretariat in Nairobi, Kenya, was established in August 2022 with individual members spanning across the 42 countries of the sub-Saharan Africa region. WAPOR-SSA is the chapter association of the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR) which for over 74yrs has promoted the highest professional standards, ethics and technique for survey and public opinion polling around the world. This chapter association engages in a robust ongoing conversation using publications, seminars, meetings and other educational initiatives about the best way to collect data and maintain data quality in and around the sub-Saharan African region. We will continue to promote in each country or region in Sub Saharan Africa the right to conduct and publish scientific research on what the people and its groups think and how this thinking is influenced by various factors. We are established to promote the knowledge and application of scientific methods in this objective; and to assist and promote the development and publication of public opinion research in Sub Saharan Africa.
