Sampling
From November 2015 to February 2016, 300 stakeholders of the WBG in Botswana 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 WBG projects or consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs, local government office or staff, 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 256 stakeholders participated in the survey (85% response rate).
85%
The results of this year's Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY '13 (response rate is 80%, N=241). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across the two survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. There were too few respondents from local government in either year to be included and stakeholders who identified themselves as "Other" in the stakeholder category options also 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 '13 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in this report. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix D (see page 97).
