    Abstract
    The Country Opinion Survey in Armenia assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Armenia perceive the WBG. It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Armenia on:
    1) their views regarding the general environment in Armenia;
    2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Armenia;
    3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Armenia;
    4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Armenia.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    From August to September 2015, 203 stakeholders of the WBG in Armenia 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, Office of the Prime Minister, office of a minister; the National Assembly/Parliament; ministries/ministerial departments; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/ programs; local governments; bilateral/multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the private foundation, the financial sector/private banks; non-profit organizations/community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups, youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations. A total of 141 stakeholders participated in the survey (70% response rate).

    70%
    Weighting

    The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’13 (response rate is 90%, N=192). 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. Respondents who belonged to the "other" stakeholder category were not included either. As a result, means of the FY’16 data and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in appendices A, B, and C. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please see appendix D (page 56).
