Afrobarometer, a pan-African, nonpartisan survey research network surveyed dozens of African countries regarding various social, economic, and pollical questions. Among the questions was one question about having homosexuals as neighbors. Responses combined here are: “would strongly dislike” and “would somewhat dislike”. Because of the number of countries surveyed, the survey periods varied by countries, ranging from 2021 to 2023.

Question: "For each of the following types of people, please tell me whether you would like having people from this group as neighbours, dislike it, or not care: Homosexuals?"
