Interactive evidence intelligence platform prototype built on Afrobarometer Round 10 Ghana survey microdata # Afrobarometer Insight Platform — 39-Country Round 9 Build An interactive evidence intelligence platform built on Afrobarometer's real **Round 9 Merged Data** — 53,444 interviews across all 39 fielded countries. Developed independently in connection with a proposal for Afrobarometer's 2026 Flagship Report interactive dashboard. **Live demo:** fadl462.github.io **Live locally:** open `index.html` in any modern browser, or serve the repo root with any static file server (no build step, no server-side code — everything runs client-side): ```bash python3 -m http.server 8000 # then open localhost ``` ## What this is The platform ships two tiers of data: 1. **Precomputed cross-country aggregates** (`data/country_aggregates.json`, `data/continental.json`) — small, fast-loading files covering every country on every indicator, so the Executive Briefing and Compare Countries views render instantly with no per-country fetch. 2. **Full respondent-level microdata, per country** (`data/countries/*.json`) — a columnar, integer-coded file for each of the 39 countries (~700–900KB raw, ~100KB gzipped), fetched on demand whenever you change the sidebar's **focus country** selector. This powers the deep-dive views (Indicator Explorer, Demographic Intelligence, Regional Intelligence, Policy Insight Centre, and within-country Ask-the-Data questions) with genuine respondent-level computation, not pre-baked charts. Every statistic is traceable: single-country figures use `withinwt_hh` (Afrobarometer's within-country weight); cross-country and continental figures use `Combinwt_new_hh` (Afrobarometer's own multi-country weighting factor, which gives each of the 39 countries equal say in the continental average regardless of population — matching Afrobarometer's published cross-country reporting convention). ### Modules - **Executive Briefing** — continental headline KPIs, a rule-based insights feed, the top problems citizens name …
