Abstract

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

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

From December 2022 to February 2023, 197 stakeholders of the WBG in Armenia 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 Prime Minister; office of a Minister; national government institutions; local governments; multilateral agencies; private sector; civil society organizations; from the academia, research institutes, and think tanks; from the media and other organizations.

Response Rate

The response rate was 57%

Weighting

The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY18 (response rate was 85%, N=170). Comparing responses across Country Surveys reflect changes in attitudes over time, but also changes in respondent samples and changes to the survey instrument itself. To reduce the influence of the latter factor, only those questions with similar response scales/options were analyzed.
The distribution of the stakeholder groups in the final samples in FY18 and FY23 country surveys are listed in the table on the right. This year’s survey saw an increased outreach to and response from multilateral agencies, but a decrease in outreach to and response from high-level government offices. These differences in the stakeholder composition between the two years should be taken into consideration when interpreting the results of the past-year comparison analyses. Breakdowns for individual questions by year can be found in the “Armenia COS FY23 Tables with data breakdowns.xlsx” file published in the WBG Microdata Library, along with the survey microdata and this report.
