The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Honduras or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the World Bank's team that works in Honduras, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank uses to assess the views of its critical stakeholders. With this understanding, the World Bank hopes to develop more effective strategies, outreach and programs that support development in Honduras. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Honduras.

The Questionnaire consists of 8 Sections:

Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the World Bank, the Bank's effectiveness in Honduras, Bank staff preparedness to help Honduras solve its development challenges, their agreement with various statements regarding the Bank's work, and the extent to which the Bank is an effective development partner. Respondents were asked to indicate the Bank's greatest values, the most effective instruments in helping to reduce poverty in Honduras, with which stakeholder groups the Bank should collaborate more, and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts.
C. World Bank Effectiveness and Results:
Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the Bank's work helps achieve development results in Honduras, the extent to which the Bank meets Honduras's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, and the Bank's level of effectiveness across sixteen development areas, such as education, anti-corruption, job creation/employment, and crime and violence.

Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult Bank knowledge and research, to rate the effectiveness and quality of the Bank's knowledge and research, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality, and to rate how effective the Bank is at providing linkage to non-Bank expertise.

Respondents were asked to indicate what the Bank should do to make itself of greater value, what would be the most valuable ways the Bank could support Honduras's efforts to see through pro poor growth, and what would be the most valuable ways the Bank could support the country's efforts to decrease the levels of crime and violence in Honduras.
