Abstract
This survey was designed to assist the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in four Gulf Cooperation Council countries - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates - perceive the WBG. The survey provided the WBG with feedback from national and local governments, multilateral and bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates on:
1) their views regarding the general environment in their country;
2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in their country;
3) overall impressions of the WBG's effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in their country;
4) their perceptions of the WBG's future role in their country.
The dataset documented here covers Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
