The Public Opinion Research Group surveyed 29 countries in FY2012 (July 2011-June 2012), 41 countries in FY2013 (July 2012-June 2013), 42 countries in FY2014 (July 2013-June 2014), and 35 countries In FY2015 (July 2014-June 2015). In FY2016, surveys were conducted in 45 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group's client countries are surveyed in every three year cycle. Bangladesh Dhaka Division, Chittagong Division, Sylhet Division, Khulna Division, Mymensing Division, Rangpur Division and Barisal Division. Stakeholders of the World Bank Group in Bangladesh. Opinion leaders from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society Sample survey data [ssd] The Nielsen Company (Bangladesh) Limited Other [oth] The Questionnaire is in English. Mail, email, online and face to face. The results of this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY ’13 (response rate was 52%, N = 366). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across the two survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Note, there were insufficient numbers of respondents from bilateral/multilateral agencies or local government in either year to be included in these analyses. Also, stakeholders who identified themselves as “Other” in the stakeholder category options were not included in these comparisons. As a result, mean ratings, percentages of respondents, and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in the FY ’13 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in this report. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (see page 86) in the attached report. 47% The user of the data acknowledges that the original collector of the data, the authorized distributor of the data, and the relevant funding agency bear no responsibility for use of the data or for interpretations or inferences based upon such uses. bangladesh_fy16_datafile.NSDstat Data collected from “Bangladesh World Bank Survey Questionnaire” 332 337 Nesstar 200801 id 332 0 101 432 In general would you say that Bangladesh is headed in?
