Study title

The surveys have been conducted, commissioned by NORAD, as additional surveys to the Labour Force Surveys. The purpose was to identify attitudes of Norwegian development assistance and provide data for studying the factors that influence these attitudes. In 1974 one sought like in 1972 to identify people`s knowledge of foreign aid. Later studys have consentrated on people`s perception of media coverage of developing countries and aid issues. The 1990 survey contained additional questions tied to an international study about knowledge and attitudes towards the United Nations. This was part of a larger comparative study commissioned by the UN Communications Center in New York. The Attitudes towards Norwegian Developement Assistance surveys are continued after 1990 as part of Statistic Norways omnibus surveys, in March 1993, May 1995 and November 1996.
