In FY2019, surveys were conducted in 42 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group's client countries are surveyed in every three year cycle.

Abstract

The Country Opinion Survey in China assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in China 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 China on:

1) Their views regarding the general environment in China;

2) Their overall attitudes toward the WBG in China;

3) Overall impressions of the WBG's effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in China; and

4) Their perceptions of the WBG's future role in China.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

From August to November 2018, 535 stakeholders of the WBG in China 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 employees of ministries/ministerial departments of the central government; local government offices or staff; project management offices (central level); project management offices (local level); central banks; the financial sector/banks; NGOs; regulatory agencies; state-owned enterprises; bilateral or multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; the media; and academia/research institutes/think tanks.

Response Rate

29%

Weighting

The results in this year's Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY'15 (response rate was 32%, N=184). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across both survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Note, there were insufficient numbers of respondents from bilateral or multilateral agencies, central banks, or regulatory agencies in either year 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 '15 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 (Report, page 68) in the Related Documentation.
