Series Information
The World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey Program (COS) is an ongoing effort to systematically gauge and track the perceptions and views of the World Bank Group's clients and partners across the globe over time. The survey data give the institution a more in-depth understanding of stakeholders' views on issues related to the World Bank's work on the ground (how it operates, its relationships, and its knowledge) and other development-related issues. The Department of External and Corporate Relations Business Intelligence Team oversees the program.
