From March to July 2021, 350 stakeholders of the WBG in Eswatini 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 Prime Minister; 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 65%.
The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’18 (response rate was 73%, N=160). 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’21 the increased outreach and subsequent number of survey respondents from a broader range of stakeholders outside of government institutions is to be commended; however, it makes the two respondent samples sufficiently different that weighting them for stakeholder equivalence across both years is not recommended. Hence, some differences in years comparisons analyses may be a result of differences in the stakeholder compositions, not just changes over time. The original respondent samples from the FY’18 and FY’21 Country Surveys used in the year comparisons analyses are presented in the FY’21 COS report.
