مِرصاد wants to measure Syria in public
A Syrian policy and polling center proposing twelve recurring national indicators, with published samples, field dates, question wording, and margins of error.
Field notes
مِرصاد organizes its proposed work around twelve fixed indicators, with eleven intended to run quarterly and a price measure intended to run monthly. Each indicator has a persistent code, while the project says its question wording, sampling information, field dates, and margin of error will accompany published values. The homepage currently shows a comparison figure for overall direction—56%, based on a 3,690-person Arab Opinion Index sample—and labels the center's own first wave as planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.
