World Association of Public Opinion Research (WAPOR).

The article presents a report on the World Association of Public Opinion Research Annual Conference held in The Hague, The Netherlands on September 20-22, 1995, by Miguel Basanez of Mexico. The papers were extremely interesting and enable colleagues to feel proud of the interesting data the profession is yielding. The topics covered the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in child education, hunger and development; the relation of private, government and NGOs organizations, both in the North and in the South, as well as some very vivid illustrations from the work of Novib (one of the most important of Holland NGOs), World View, Pons Sènegal, Africa Harvest Mission, or the Comité Catholique contre la Palm et pour le Developpement. Surely a highlight of the Conference was to bring the Chairman of Greenpeace International, Daryl Upsall, for a joint presentation of their worldwide research on the environment. But these reports were not the only ones that made all of us that engage in either conducting or analyzing surveys feel proud.
