Albertan Views: Perceptions of Global Poverty
Global poverty is a huge and complex issue! Garnering the support of the general public is a challenge in light of the myriad of social issues present on a daily basis. Thus, the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC), in partnership with the Wild Rose Foundation and Angus Reid Strategies has conducted a province-wide and Canada-wide survey which has examined the public perceptions of global poverty and the role that Albertans (and Canadians) play in addressing this important issue.
ACGC was interested in learning:
- How important Albertans think global poverty is, compared to other social issues.
- How much Albertans knew about global poverty and the agencies and programs involved in addressing this issue.
- What Albertans perceived as effective programs for dealing with global poverty.
- What Albertans thought about their role, the role of government and the role of the international community in addressing global poverty.
Project Description
ACGC in partnership with the Wild Rose Foundation and Angus Reid Strategies conducted a survey in Alberta which would provide Albertans, including the Council and its members with baseline information regarding Albertan perceptions of global poverty and the role that we all play in its eradication.
