The client survey is designed to collect, measure and assess the views of World Bank clients about the quality of the Bank's assistance, in terms of the importance of the Bank's various activities to them, and the Bank's effectiveness in those areas. The survey uses a mail-in questionnaire, covering the Bank's overall contribution and support to development, Bank officials' interactions with clients, various aspects of project design and implementation, and non-lending services. The questionnaire may be custom-tailored to gather needed country-specific information. Optional sections may be added to ask about the role of the Bank's country office, how well the Bank works with others, and the Bank's role in donor coordination and mobilization of resources. Interviews are also conducted with a small number of key clients and partners to provide qualitative inputs to complement the quantitative surveys.
