    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    From April to May 2017, 423 stakeholders of the World Bank Group in four OECS countries were invited to provide their opinions on the Bank's assistance to the country by participating in a country survey. In each country, participants were drawn from the office of the President, Prime Minister/Minister, office of a parliamentarian, ministries, ministerial departments, or implementation agencies, consultants/ contractors working on World Bank Group-supported projects/programs, project management units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of a project, local governments, bilateral and multilateral agencies, private sector organizations, private foundations, the financial sector/private banks, NGOs; community-based organizations, the media, independent government institutions, trade unions, faith-based groups, academia/research institutes/think tanks, youth groups, the judiciary branch, and other organizations. A total of 231 stakeholders participated in the survey (55% response rate).

    Weighting

    The results of this year’s Country Survey were compared to those of the Country Survey conducted in FY ’14 (response rate was 79%, N = 119). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across the two survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Note, there were insufficient numbers of respondents from bilateral agencies, the judiciary branch, or private foundations in FY ’14 to be included in these analyses. Also, stakeholders who identified themselves as “Other” in the stakeholder category options were not included in these comparisons. As a result, mean ratings, percentages of respondents, and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in the FY ’14 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in this report. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (see page 112) in the Related Materials.
