Data quality & caveats

• All Afrobarometer survey rounds for Burkina Faso, one split per round.
• Rounds included: R4 (2008-2009, 1,200 resp.), R5 (2011-2013, 1,200 resp.), R6 (2014-2015, 1,200 resp.), R7 (2016-2018, 1,200 resp.), R8 (2019-2021, 1,200 resp.), R9 (2021-2023, 1,200 resp.).
• Total: 7,200 respondents across 6 rounds.
• Each round is a separate split (e.g. round_9) because question sets differ across rounds. Load one with load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-afrobarometer-burkina-faso", split="round_9").
• Columns are Q-coded survey questions with value labels applied; weights included (withinwt, combinwt).
• Questionnaire: codebook.csv maps every column to its question text, the rounds it appears in, and its value-code labels. Load it with load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-afrobarometer-burkina-faso", data_files="codebook.csv") or read codebook.json directly.
