The World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey Program systematically measures and tracks the perceptions of the World Bank Group's clients, partners, and other stakeholders across the globe in client countries. The Public Opinion Research Group surveyed 29 countries in FY2012 (July 2011-June 2012) and 41 countries in FY2013 (July 2012-June 2013). In FY2014, surveys were conducted in 42 countries and in FY2015 - in 35 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group's client countries are surveyed in 3-year cycles.
The Country Opinion Survey in Mauritius assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Mauritius 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 Mauritius on:
- their views regarding the general environment in Mauritius;
- their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Mauritius;
- overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Mauritius;
- their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Mauritius.

Sampling
From March to May 2015, 250 stakeholders of the WBG in Mauritius 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; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; PMUs; local governments; bilateral/multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; private foundations; the financial sector/private banks; NGOs/community based organizations (CBO); the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations.
A total of 130 stakeholders participated in the survey (52% response rate).
52%
The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’12 (response rate is 50%, N=153). Data were weighted to reach the same stakeholder composition in two years, which allows for year comparisons. Stakeholder groups which were not present in both fiscal years were not included in the comparison. Respondents who belonged to the “other” stakeholder category were not included either. As a result, means of the FY’ 15 data and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in appendices A, B, C, D, E, G, and H. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please see appendix F (page 130).
