    Series Information

    The World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey Program systematically measures and tracks the perceptions of the World Bank's clients, partners, and other stakeholders across the globe in client countries. The Public Opinion Research Group surveyed 29 countries in FY2012 (July 2011-June 2012), 41 countries in FY2013 (July 2012-June 2013), 42 countries in FY2014 (July 2013-June 2014), 35 countries in FY2015 (July 2014-June 2015), 45 countries in FY2016 (July 2015-June 2016), 35 countries in FY2017 (July 2016-June 2017), and 39 countries in FY2018 (July 2017-June 2018). In FY2019, surveys were conducted in 42 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group's client countries are surveyed in every three year cycle.
    Abstract
    The Country Opinion Survey in Thailand assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Thailand 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 Thailand on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Thailand; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Thailand; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Thailand; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Thailand.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    From May to June 2019, 390 stakeholders of the WBG in Thailand 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; judiciary branch; and other organizations.
    Response Rate

    52%
    Weighting

    The results in this year's Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY'16 (response rate was 23%, N=108). As a rule, the COS data are weighted for year comparisons in order to reach the same stakeholder composition in two fiscal years. However, in the case of Thailand, due to significant differences between compositions of the FY'19 and FY'16 samples, weighting would have been statistically unsound. Therefore, only basic comparisons of the unweighted data from the FY'19 and FY'16 Country Surveys are presented in the report and should be considered provisional. For the FY'19 and FY'16 stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (page 74) of the survey final report.
