Summary

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church that has grown dramatically in many parts of the world over the past three decades, including Sub-Saharan Africa. This survey's aim is to establish the relationship between the CCR and civic engagement in Kenya and Nigeria. This data file focuses on Kenya. The questionnaires had items relating to religious behavior and beliefs and political attitudes and behaviors. The Nigeria file can also be found on the ARDA.

The ARDA has added three additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.

Original Survey (Instrument)

Religion and Civic Engagement in Kenya

Funded By

This project was funded by the Pentecostal and Charismatic Research Initiative at the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California, which was supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

Collection Procedures

This survey was administered face-to-face using PAPI (pen and paper interview) methodology with printed and structured questionnaires. The survey was carried out using three separate questionnaires, in English with Kiswahili translation, for the three target groups: charismatic Catholics, non-charismatic Catholics, and Pentecostals.

Sampling Procedures

Survey recruitment was done primarily through snowball sampling to facilitate recruitment of potentially difficult to reach respondents, such as charismatic Catholics. The researchers preselected sampling locations and parishes and provided them to Synovate Kenya, the organization that administered the survey. A total of 200 interviews were conducted in each identified parish.
