Abstract
The Country Opinion Survey in Timor Leste assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Timor Leste 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 Timor Leste on:
1) Their views regarding the general environment in Timor Leste;
2) Their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Timor Leste;
3) Overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Timor Leste; and
4) Their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Timor Leste.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
From February to April 2017, 203 stakeholders of the WBG in Timor-Leste were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a Country Opinion Survey (COS). 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 officials 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.
Response Rate
50%
Weighting
The results of this year’s Country Survey were compared to those of the Country Survey conducted in FY ’14 (response rate was 74%, N = 163). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across the two survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Note, there were insufficient numbers of respondents from academia in both years to be included in these analyses. Also, 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 ’14 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in this report. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (Report, page 90) in the Related Materials.
