# Merged Afrobarometer Data
This repository contains some R scripts that clean and merge data from
[Afrobarometer] surveys. Currently this includes only rounds 3--6 and
the variables that I have used in my work.
## Build
1. Sign up for a username at [afrobarometer.org](http://afrobarometer.org/).
The Afrobarometer data is free to use, but requires a login to download.
See the [Data Use Policy](http://afrobarometer.org/data/data-use-policy)
before using the data.
2. Copy `afrobarometer-example.yml` to `afrobarometer.yml`. Edit
Edit the `user` and `password` fields to your Afrobarometer username and
password.
3. Install R dependencies
```r
devtools::install(".")
```
3. Build it
```console
$ make
```
## Usage
Running the build script saves an R object with the combined dataset as `data/afrobarometer.rds`:
You can load this data using:
```r
afrobarometer <- readRDS("data/afrobarometer.rds")
```
## LICENSE
All code is MIT licensed.
See the [Afrobarometer Data Use Policy](http://www.afrobarometer.org/data/data-use-policy)
for the copyright on the Afrobarometer data.
