Between June and August 2014, 662 stakeholders of the World Bank Group in Myanmar 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, Prime Minster; office of a minister; office of a parliamentarian; ministries/ministerial departments; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; PMUs overseeing implementation of a project; local government officials; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; private foundations; the financial sector/private banks; NGOs; community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; judiciary branch; and other organizations.
A total of 173 stakeholders participated in the survey (26% response rate).
The Questionnaire consists of following sections:
A. General Issues Facing Myanmar: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Myanmar is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities, which areas the government should focus on, which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Myanmar, and how "shared prosperity" would be best achieved.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (WBG): Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the WBG, its effectiveness in Myanmar, WBG staff preparedness to help Myanmar solve its development challenges, WBG's local presence, WBG's capacity building in Myanmar, their agreement with various statements regarding the WBG's work, and the extent to which the WBG is an effective development partner. Respondents were asked to indicate the WBG's greatest values and weaknesses, the most effective instruments in helping reduce poverty in Myanmar, in which sectoral areas the WBG should focus most of its resources (financial and knowledge services), and to which groups the institution should reach out more.
C. Sectoral Importance and World Bank Group's Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the WBG's work helps achieve development results in Myanmar, the extent to which the WBG meets Myanmar's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, the importance for the WBG to be involved in thirty five development areas, such as education, poverty reduction, public sector governance/reform, and security/stabilization/reconstruction. They were also asked to rate the extent to which the WBG helps build existing country systems in Myanmar.
D. The World Bank Group's Knowledge Work and Activities: Respondents were asked to rate the effectiveness and quality of the WBG's knowledge work and activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
E. The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Myanmar: Respondents were asked to indicate what the WBG should do to make itself of greater value in Myanmar and which services the Bank Group should offer more of in the country. They were asked what areas the country would benefit most from the WBG playing a leading role and what areas it would benefit most from other donors.
F. Communication and Information Sharing: Respondents were asked to indicate how they get information about economic and social development issues, how they prefer to receive information from the WBG, and their usage and evaluation of the WBG's websites. Respondents were also asked about their awareness of the WBG's Access to Information policy, were asked to rate WBG's responsiveness to information requests, value of its social media channels, levels of easiness to find information they needed, the levels of easiness to navigate the WBG websites, and whether they use WBG data more often than before.
G. Background Information: Respondents were asked to indicate their current position, specialization, whether they professionally collaborate with the WBG, their exposure to the WBG in Myanmar, which WBG agencies they work with, whether they think that IFC and WB work well together, and their geographic locations.
