The Afrobarometer is a comparative series of public attitude surveys that collects and disseminates data regarding Africans' views on democracy, governance, the economy, civil society, and related issues. This particular data collection was concerned with the attitudes and opinions of the citizens of Zimbabwe, and also includes a number of country-specific questions designed specifically for the Zimbabwe survey. The data are collected from nationally representative samples in face-to-face interviews in the language of the respondent's choice. Standard topics for the Afrobarometer include attitudes toward and evaluations of democracy, governance and economic conditions, political participation, and national identity. In addition, Round 6 surveys included special modules on taxation; tolerance; crime, conflict and insecurity; political corruption; interregional relations; perceptions of China; use of technology; and social service delivery. County-specific topics for Zimbabwe include public knowledge of the 2013 constitution, the role of Civil Society Organizations within the country, whether citizens should be directly involved in local and national governance, whether male circumcision should be made mandatory to reduce HIV transmission, public school reforms, the level of involvement the armed forces should have in the political system, and whether the government should indigenize foreign-owned businesses or pursue additional foreign investment. The surveys also collect a large set of socio-demographic indicators such as age, gender, education level, poverty level, language and ethnicity, and religious affiliation, as well as political party affiliation. Afrobarometer Round 6 surveys were implemented in 36 countries. Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36698.v1
