Public Opinion Research Group | The World Bank Group |
In May, 2014, 409 stakeholders of the World Bank Group in Haiti 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, or implementation agencies; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; project management units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of a project; local government officials; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; financial sector/private banks; NGOs; community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations.
A total of 204 stakeholders participated in the survey (50% response rate).
The Questionnaire consists of 8 sections:
A. General Issues Facing Haiti: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Haiti is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Haiti, and how "shared prosperity" would be best achieved.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (WBG): Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the WBG and other regional development banks, their effectiveness in Haiti, WBG staff preparedness to help Haiti solve its development challenges, WBG's local presence, WBG's capacity building in Haiti, their agreement with various statements regarding the WBG's work, and the extent to which the WBG is an effective development partner. Respondents were asked to indicate the WBG's greatest values and weaknesses, the most effective instruments in helping reduce poverty in Haiti, in which sectoral areas the WBG should focus most of its resources (financial and knowledge services), and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts. Respondents were also asked to indicate which groups the WBG should collaborate more with in Haiti to ensure better development results.
C. World Bank Group's Effectiveness and Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the WBG's work helps achieve development results in Haiti, the extent to which the WBG meets Haiti's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, the importance for the WBG to be involved in thirty six development areas, and the WBG's level of effectiveness across twenty seven of these areas, such as education, policy sector governance/reform, job creation/employment, and health.
D. The World Bank Group's Knowledge Work and Activities: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult WBG's knowledge work and activities and to rate the effectiveness and quality of the WBG's knowledge work and activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
E. Working with the World Bank Group: Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements regarding working with the WBG, such as the WBG's "Safeguard Policy" requirements being reasonable, the WBG's speed in disbursing funds, and whether the WBG takes decisions quickly in Haiti.
F. The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Haiti: Respondents were asked to indicate what the WBG should do to make itself of greater value in Haiti, and which services the Bank should offer more of in the country. They were asked whether WBG has moved to the right direction, and the future role international development cooperation should play in Haiti. Respondents were asked to indicate the areas in which Haiti would benefit the most if the WBG plays a leading role among international partners, and the areas in which Haiti would benefit the most from other donors in Haiti.
G. Communication and Information Sharing: Respondents were asked to indicate how they get information about economic and social development issues, how they prefer to receive information from the WBG, the language in which they prefer to receive information from the WBG, and their usage and evaluation of the WBG's websites. Respondents were also asked about their awareness of the WBG's Access to Information policy, were asked to rate WBG's responsiveness to information requests, value of its social media channels, and levels of easiness to find information they needed.
H. Background Information: Respondents were asked to indicate their current position, specialization, whether they professionally collaborate with the WBG, their exposure to the WBG in Haiti, which WBG agencies they work with, whether IFC and the Bank work well together, and their geographic location.
Questionnaires were in English and French.
