It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Panama on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Panama; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Panama; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Panama; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Panama.

Sampling
From June 2022 to October 2022, stakeholders of the WBG in Panama were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a Country Opinion Survey. A total of 1,030 stakeholders were asked to participate, drawn from the Office of the President, Prime Minister, a Minister, or a member of Parliament/Legislative body; ministries, ministerial departments, or implementation agencies; project management units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects or consultants and contractors working on WBG-supported projects and programs; local governments; independent government institutions; the judiciary; state-owned enterprises; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the financial sector and private banks; private foundations; NGOs and community-based organizations; professional and trade associations; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia, research institutes, or think tanks; and the media.
The response rate was 12%
The distribution of respondent samples from the FY19 and FY22 Country Surveys used in the year comparisons analyses are listed in the table on the right. This year’s survey saw increased outreach and responding from high-level government officials and local government, but less responding from media and government institutions. These differences in stakeholder compositions among survey respondents should be taken into account when interpreting the results of the past-year comparison analyses.
Survey instrument
The survey was implemented in English and Spanish. The English version of the questionnaire is available for download.
