New Report on Social Cohesion in Eastern Africa
The report examines social cohesion using data from a wide variety of sources, including national statistics institutes and international organisations. But it also investigates qualitative data, including opinion surveys and questionnaires to gain a deeper appreciation of the perspectives of citizens in the region. This results in some surprising findings. For example, the official estimate of how many people are living in poverty is different in many countries from the number of people who view themselves to be living in poverty. Understanding perceptions, the report argues, is essential for understanding the state of social cohesion
