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

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
From April to June 2017, 413 stakeholders of the WBG in Poland 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, ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies, 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, private foundations, the financial sector/ private bank, NGOs/community based organizations, the media, independent government institutions, trade unions, faith-based groups, youth group, academia/research institutes/think tanks, the judiciary branch, and other organizations. A total of 109 stakeholders participated in the survey (26% response rate).
Response Rate
26%
Weighting
The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’13 (response rate was 33%, N=92). 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, 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 appendices A, B, C, D, and F. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (page 83) in the Related Materials.
