The World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey Program (COS) is an ongoing effort to systematically gauge and track the perceptions and views of the World Bank Group's clients and partners across the globe, over time. The survey data provide the institution with a more in-depth understanding of the views of stakeholders on issues related to the World Bank's work on the ground (how it operates, its relationships, and its knowledge) and other development-related issues. The program is overseen by the Department of External and Corporate Relations, Business Intelligence Team. This collection hosts open, accessible survey data from 29 countries collected in FY 2012 (July 2011-June 2012), 41 countries in FY 2013 (July 2012-June 2013), 42 countries in FY 2014 (July 2013-June 2014), 35 countries in FY 2015 (July 2014-June 2015), 45 countries in FY 2016 (July 2015-June 2016), 35 countries in FY 2017 (July 2016-June 2017), and 39 countries in FY 2018 (July 2017-June 2018), 42 countries in FY 2019 (July 2018-June 2019), 21 countries in FY 2020 (July 2019-June 2020), 36 countries in FY 2021 (July 2020-June 2021), 23 countries in FY 2022 (July 2021-June 2022) and 30 countries in FY 2023 (July 2022-June 2023) (. All data will be regularly updated, and more countries will be added as data becomes available.
The Country Opinion Survey in Nepal assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in better understanding how stakeholders in Nepal 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 Nepal on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Nepal; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Nepal; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Nepal; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Nepal.

Sampling
From June 2023 to August 2023 , a total of 1,106 stakeholders of the WBG in Nepal were invited to provide their opinions about the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a Country Opinion Survey (COS). A list of potential participants was compiled by the WBG country team and the fielding agency. Participants were drawn from the Office of the President, Prime Minister, Minister, Parliament, Government Institutions, Local Governments, Bilateral/ Multilateral Agencies, Private Sector, Civil Society, Academia, University Students and the Media. Of these stakeholders, 497 participated in the survey (45 % response rate)
The response rate was 45 %
The results of this year’s survey were compared to the FY19 Survey with a response rate of 65% (N=421). Comparing responses across Country Surveys reflects changes in attitudes over time, but also changes in respondent samples, changes in methodology, and changes to the survey instrument itself. Only questions with similar response scales/options were analyzed to reduce the latter factor's influence. This year’s survey saw an increased outreach to and/or response from bilateral/multilateral agencies, but a decrease from local governments and civil society. Additionally, a new group of university students was invited to participate in the survey. These differences in stakeholder composition between the two years should be taken into
consideration when interpreting the results of the past year's comparison analyses.

The survey was implemented in English and Nepali
