Sampling
From May to July 2015, 570 stakeholders of the World Bank Group (WBG) in China 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 ministries/ministerial departments; local governments, Project Management Units (PMUs) at both the central and local levels; the Central Bank; financial sector/banks; private sector organizations; NGOs; the regulatory agency; state-owned enterprises; bilateral/multilateral agencies; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; the media; academia/research institutes/think tanks; and other organizations. A total of 184 stakeholders participated in the survey (32% response rate).
32%
The results of 2015 Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY2012 (response rate is 40%, N=207). Data were weighted to reach the same stakeholder composition in two years, which allows for year comparisons. Stakeholder groups which were not present in both fiscal years were not included in the comparison. As a result, means of the FY2015 data and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in appendices A, B, C, D, and F in the report. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please see appendix E (page 90) in the attached report.
