The Barometer of the Lusophone World (1st edition, 2026) is a pioneering comparative public-opinion study conducted simultaneously across the Portuguese-speaking countries. This first edition gathers data from eight countries — Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor-Leste — based on the premise that the shared language and institutional life within the CPLP are strategic assets for promoting democratic values.

The study examines a broad set of dimensions: satisfaction with personal life and assessments of each country's situation, the economy and main national problems, climate change, and values and attitudes towards sensitive historical legacies (slavery), immigration, gender and same-sex unions. It also analyses citizens' relationship with information and disinformation (fake news), electoral participation and satisfaction with democracy, mutual knowledge and interest among Lusophone countries, and perceptions of the CPLP and its relevance.

For Angola, the study situates the country within the Lusophone context — for example, with a Human Development Index of 0.62 (medium) — and compares Angolan citizens' perceptions with those of other Portuguese-speaking peoples across four continents.
