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

Sampling Procedure
From April to June 2019, 500 stakeholders of the WBG in Malawi 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 and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the financial sector/private banks; private foundations; NGOs and 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.
Response Rate
51%
Weighting
The results in this year's Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY'16 (response rate was 68%, N=340). 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'16 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, see page 81) in the Related Documentation.
