2007 Survey of Afghans
The Institute sponsored the first-ever Canadian-initiated public opinion survey of the people of Afghanistan on issues related to quality of life, reconstruction, and Canadian military presence in the country. This project was undertaken in partnership with the CBC, The Globe and Mail, La Presse and the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies and the Munk Centre for International Studies, (both at the University of Toronto).
The survey was conducted by Environics Research, in collaboration with the Afghan Centre for Survey and Opinion Research (ACSOR) which has a well-established survey research operation for in-person interviewing to a high standard in every province across the country.
