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), 35 countries in FY2015 (July 2014-June 2015), 45 countries in FY2016 (July 2015-June 2016), and 35 countries in FY2017 (July 2016-June 2017). In FY2018, surveys were conducted in 39 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group's client countries are surveyed in every three year cycle. The Country Opinion Survey in Gambia assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Gambia 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 Gambia on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Gambia; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Gambia; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Gambia; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Gambia. - v01: edited and anonymous data for public distribution.

Other [oth] English Via email and face to face. The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’15 (response rate was 42%, N=274). 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, 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’15 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in appendices A, B, C, D and F. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E in the attached external documents. 43% (n = 222) 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. gambia_cos_fy18_data_file_final_.NSDstat 222 429 Nesstar 200801 222 0 101 322 211.5 In general, would you say that Gambia is headed in ... ?
