The Questionnaire consists of following sections:
A. General Issues Facing Guinea-Bissau: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Guinea-Bissau is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Guinea-Bissau, and how "shared prosperity" would be best achieved in Guinea-Bissau.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (WBG): Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the WBG, the WBG's effectiveness in Guinea-Bissau, WBG staff preparedness to help Guinea-Bissau solve its development challenges, 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 Guinea-Bissau, with which stakeholder groups the WBG should collaborate more, in which sectoral areas the WBG should focus most of its resources (financial and knowledge services), and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts.
C. World Bank Group's Effectiveness and Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the WBG's work helps achieve development results in Guinea-Bissau, the extent to which the WBG meets Guinea-Bissau's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, and the WBG's level of effectiveness across thirty-five development areas, such as economic growth, private sector development, education, health, agriculture and rural development.
D. The World Bank Group's Knowledge Work and Activities: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult WBG's knowledge work and activities and to rate the effectiveness and quality of the WBG's knowledge, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
E. Working with the World Bank Group: Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements regarding working with the WBG, such as the WBG's "Safeguard Policy" requirements being reasonable, the WBG imposing reasonable conditions on its lending, disbursing funds promptly, and providing effective implementation support.
F. The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Guinea-Bissau: Respondents were asked to indicate what the WBG should do to make itself of greater value in Guinea-Bissau, which services the WBG should offer more of in the country, and which development areas would benefit most from WBG playing a leading role as compared to other donors.
G. 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 and social media channels.
