World Bank Country Survey 2013 (Bhutan)

Abstract

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

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