Sampling
From March to April 2015, 646 stakeholders of the WBG in Kenya 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 Minister, office of a Minister, office of a Parliamentarian, employees of ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies, Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of a project or consultants working on WBG-supported projects, local governments, bilateral/multilateral agencies, private sector organizations, private foundations, the financial sector/private banks, NGOs/community-based organizations (CBOs), the media, independent government institutions, trade unions, faith-based groups, youth groups, academia/research institutes/think tanks, and the judiciary branch.
A total of 558 stakeholders participated in the survey (86% response rate).
86%
The results of 2015 Country Survey were compared to the Country Survey conducted in FY 2012 (response rate was 62%, N=373). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across the two survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Stakeholders who identified themselves as "other" in the stakeholder category options were not included in these comparisons. As a result, mean ratings, percentages of respondents, and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in the FY 2012 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in 2015 report. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix D (page 117) in the attached report.
