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), 35 countries in FY2017 (July 2016-June 2017), and 39 countries in FY2018 (July 2017-June 2018). In FY2019, surveys were conducted in 42 countries. Nearly all of the World Bank Group's client countries are surveyed in every three year cycle. The Country Opinion Survey in Philippines assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Philippines 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 Philippines on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Philippines; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Philippines; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Philippines; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Philippines. Philippines Stakeholder Opinion leaders from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society. Sample survey data [ssd] International Technology Management Corporation From April through May 2019, 910 stakeholders of the WBG in the Philippines were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a Country Opinion Survey (COS). Participants were drawn from the office of the President, office of a Minister, office of a Parliamentarian, employees of ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies, Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of projects or consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs, local government officials or staff, bilateral agencies, multilateral agencies, private sector organizations, the financial sector/private banks, private foundations, NGOs/community-based organizations (CBOs), the media, independent government institutions, trade unions, faith-based groups, youth groups, academia/research institutes/think tanks, and the judiciary branch. Other [oth] Via post and online Qualtrics The results of this year’s Country Survey were compared to those of the Country Survey conducted in FY ’16 (response rate was 16%, N = 352). The data were weighted to reach similar stakeholder compositions across both survey years, allowing for more statistically reliable comparisons. Note, stakeholders who identified themselves as “Other” in the stakeholder category options are 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 ’16 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 90) of the final report. 49% The user of the data acknowledges that the original collector of
