The World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey Program systematically measures and tracks the perceptions of the World Bank's clients, partners, and other stakeholders across the globe in client countries. The Public Opinion Research Group surveyed 29 countries in FY2012 (July 2011-June 2012) and 41 countries in FY2013 (July 2012-June 2013).

1) their views regarding the general environment in Sudan;
2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Sudan;
3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Sudan; and
4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Sudan.
