Comparaison of views on international development in France, Germany, United States and the United Kingdom

Since 2013, the Aid Attitudes Tracker (AAT) and the Development Engagement Lab surveys measure opinions, feelings, attitudes and behavior on development in four countries: France, Germany, the UK and the US. This section is also developed using data from other surveys, notably the Eurobarometer, which is a poll carried out by European institutions to understand and compare opinions on development across European countries.

In this section, you will find various transversal themes related to development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which provide a way to visualize and compare French, German, British and American opinions on development as well as views of other European countries.
