1) Their views regarding the general environment in India;

2) Their overall attitudes toward the WBG in India;

3) Overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in India; and

4) Their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in India.

Response rate
32%
Weighting
The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’15 (response rate was 45%, N=263). Data were weighted to reach the same stakeholder composition in both 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, 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’15 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in appendices A, B, C, D, and F. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (Report, page 88) in the Related Materials.
