The World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey Program systematically measures and tracks the perceptions of the World Bank Group’s clients, partners, and other stakeholders across the globe in client countries. The Strategic Insights 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), 39 countries in FY2018 (July 2017-June 2018), 42 countries in FY2019 (July 2018-June 2019), 21 countries in FY2020 (July 2019-June 2020), 36 countries In FY2021 (July 2020-June 2021). In FY22, surveys were conducted in 25 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group’s client countries are surveyed in every three year cycle.
The Country Opinion Survey in China assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in China 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 China on 1) their views regarding the general environment in China; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in China; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in China; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in China.

Sampling
From March to April 2022, 652 stakeholders of the WBG in China 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 employees of ministries/ministerial departments/ implementation agencies; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; local governments; independent government institutions; the judicial system; state-owned enterprises; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the financial sector/private banks; private foundations; NGOs and community based organizations; professional/trade associations; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; and the media.
The response rate was 60%
The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’19 (response rate was 29%, N=157). 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. In FY’22, the increased outreach and subsequent number of survey respondents from local government is to be commended but should be kept in mind when interpreting the results of the past year comparisons – some differences in the years comparisons analyses may be a result of differences in the stakeholder compositions, not just changes over time. The original respondent samples from the FY’19 and FY’22 Country Surveys are listed in the table in the Methodology section of the survey report.
