Version 01: Edited, anonymous dataset for public distribution. The Country Opinion Survey in Afghanistan assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Afghanistan 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 Afghanistan on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Afghanistan; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Afghanistan; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Afghanistan; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Afghanistan. Afghanistan Kabul and Outside Kabul. Stakeholder Opinion leaders from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society. Sample survey data [ssd] Pajhwok Afghan News From December 2020 to January 2021, 620 stakeholders of the WBG in Afghanistan 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; office of a minister; office of a parliamentarian; ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/ contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; local governments; independent government institutions; the judicial system; state-owned enterprises; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; the financial sector/private banks; private foundations; NGOs and community based organizations; trade unions; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the media; and other organizations. Other [oth] The survey data was collected via courier and email. The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’18 (response rate was 76%, N=502). 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’18 COS report and the non-weighted data presented in appendices A, B, C and E. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix D of the report (page 96). Response rate was 77% 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. afghanistan_cos_fy21_datafile_final_.sav 475 418 .sav id 475 101 575 Survey completion method 475 1 1 1 Paper 475 2 Online 0 In general, would you say that Afghanistan is headed in ... ?
