From June to August 2021, 1,353 stakeholders of the WBG in Costa Rica 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; offices of Ministers; offices of Parliamentarians; employees of ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; local governments; independent government institutions; the judiciary; state-owned enterprises; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the financial sector and private banks; private foundations; NGOs and community-based organizations; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; and the media.
Response rate was 18%.
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=210). 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. To reduce the influence of the former, the samples from FY ’19 and FY ’21 were weighted to have equivalent stakeholder groupings, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Due to this weighting, mean ratings and percentages of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in the FY’19 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in the FY’21 COS report.
The questionnaire used to collect the survey data consisted of the following 8 sections:
A. Overall Context
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group
C. World Bank Group’s Work and Engagement on the Ground
D. World Bank Group’s Support in Development Areas
E. World Bank Group’s Knowledge Work and Activities
F. The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Costa Rica
G. Communication and Information Sharing
H. Background Information
The questionnaire was prepared in English and Spanish.
