World Bank Country Survey 2012 (Kenya)

Abstract

The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Kenya or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the World Bank's team that works in Kenya, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank uses to assess the views of its critical stakeholders. With this understanding, the World Bank hopes to develop more effective strategies, outreach and programs that support development in Kenya. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Kenya.

The survey was designed to achieve the following objectives:
- Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Kenya perceive the Bank;
- Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Kenya regarding:
· Their views regarding the general environment in Kenya;
· Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank in Kenya;
· Overall impressions of the World Bank's effectiveness and results, knowledge and research, and communication and information sharing in Kenya; and
· Perceptions of the World Bank's future role in Kenya.
- Use data to help inform the Kenya country team's strategy.
