    Abstract
    The Country Opinion Survey in Malawi assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Malawi perceive the WBG. It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Malawi on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Malawi; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Malawi; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Malawi; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Malawi.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    From March to April 2022, 698 stakeholders of the WBG in Malawi were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a Country Opinion Survey. Participants were drawn from the Office of the President, Vice President; office of a Minister; office of the National Assembly; employees of ministries/ministerial departments; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/ contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; local governments; independent government institutions; the judicial system; state-owned enterprises; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the financial sector/private banks; private foundations; NGOs and community-based organizations; professional/trade associations; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; and the media.
    Response Rate

    The response rate was 51%
    Weighting

    The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’19 (response rate was 51%, N=254). Comparing responses across Country Surveys reflect changes in attitudes over time, but also changes in respondent samples and changes to the survey instrument itself. To reduce the influence of the latter factor, only those questions with similar response scales/options were analyzed. In FY’22, the increased outreach and subsequent numbers of survey respondents from the office of the National Assembly and private sector is to be commended but should be kept in mind when interpreting the results of the past year comparison analyses – some differences in the past year comparisons analyses may be a result of differences in stakeholder compositions, not just changes over time. The original respondent samples from the FY’19 and FY’22 Country Surveys are listed in the table in the methodology section of the survey report.
