Objectives This survey was designed to achieve the following objectives:  Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Guinea perceive the Bank;  Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Guinea regarding:  Their views regarding the general environment in Guinea;  Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank in Guinea;  Overall impressions of the World Bank’s effectiveness and results, knowledg e and research, and communication and information sharing in Guinea; and  Perceptions of the World Bank’s future role in Guinea.  Use data to help inform the Guinea country team’s strategy. II. Methodology In February 2013, 513 stakeholders of the World Bank in Guinea were invited to provide their opinions on the Bank’s assistance to the country by participating in a country survey. Participants in the survey were drawn from among the office of the President; the office of the Prime Minister; the office of a Minister; the office of a Parliamentarian; employees of a ministry, ministerial department, or implementation agency; consultants/contractors working on World Bank-supported projects/programs; project management units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of a project; local government officials or staff; bilateral and multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; private foundations; the financial sector/private banks; NGOs; community-based organizations (CBOs); the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; and the judiciary branch. A total of 383 stakeholders participated in the country survey (75% response rate). Respondents received questionnaires via courier, email or face to face and returned them accordingly. Respondents were asked about: general issues facing Guinea; their overall attitudes toward the Bank; the World Bank’s effectiveness and results; the Bank’s knowledge; working with the World Bank; the Bank’s future role in Guinea; and the Bank’s communication and information sharing in Guinea. Every country that engages in the Country Survey must include specific indicator questions that will be aggregated for the World Bank’s annual Corporate Scorecard. These questions are identified throughout the survey report. A. General Issues Facing Guinea: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Guinea is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities, and which areas of development would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Guinea. 3 The World Bank Guinea Country Survey 2013 II. Methodology (continued) B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank: Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the World Bank, the Bank’s effectiveness in Guinea, Bank staff preparedness to help Guinea solve its development challenges, their agreement with various statements regarding the Bank’s work, and the extent to which the Bank is an effective development partner . Respondents were also asked to indicate the sectoral areas on which it would be most productive for t he Bank to focus its resources, the Bank’s greatest values and greatest weaknesses in its work, the most effective instruments in helping to reduce poverty in Guinea, with which stakeholder groups the Bank should collaborate more, and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts. C. World Bank Effectiveness and Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the Bank’s work helps achieve development results in Guinea, the extent to which the Bank meets Guinea’s needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, and the Bank’s level of effectiveness across thirty six development areas, such as poverty reduction, agricultural development, transport, education and communicable/non-communicable diseases. D. The World Bank’s Knowledge: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult Bank knowledge work and activities, the areas on which the Bank should focus its research efforts, and to rate the effectiveness and quality of the Bank’s knowledge work and activities, including how significant of a contribution they make to development results in Guinea and its technical quality. E. Working with the World Bank: Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements regarding working with the Bank, such as the World Bank’s “Safeguard Policy” requirements being reasonable, the Bank imposing reasonable conditions on its lending, disbursing funds promptly, increasing Guinea’ institutional capacity, providing effective implementation support, and the World Bank is adequately staffed in Guinea. F. The Future Role of the World Bank in Guinea: Respondents were asked to rate how significant a role the Bank should play in Guinea’ development in the near future and to indicate what the Bank should do to make itself of greater value in Guinea. G. Communication and Information Sharing: Respondents were asked to indicate how they get information about economic and social development issues, how they prefer to receive information from the Bank, and their usage and evaluation of the Bank’s websites. Respondents were asked about their awareness of the Bank’s Access to Information policy, past information requests from the Bank, and their level of agreement that they use more data from the World Bank as a result of the Bank’s Open Data policy. Respondents were also asked about their level of agreement that they know how to find information from the Bank and that the Bank is responsive to their information requests. H. Background Information: Respondents were asked to indicate their current position, specialization, whether they professionally collaborate with the World Bank, their exposure to the Bank in Guinea, and their geographic location. 4 The World Bank Guinea Country Survey 2013 III.

Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Specific Areas of Effectiveness  There were significant stakeholder group differences in their ratings of the Bank’s effectiveness across many of these thirty-six development areas. For the most part, respondents from CSOs tended to have the highest ratings for the Bank’s effectiveness across these areas, whereas respondents from the private sector/financial sector/private banks tended to have significantly lower ratings. (See the Appendix for full details.) Those areas with significant stakeholder differences were:  Information and communications technology  Basic infrastructure  Local governance and institutions  Job creation/employment  Rural development  Social protection  Natural resource management  There were significant differences between geographic locations across eleven of these thirty-six areas. In almost all eleven instances, respondents from Maritime Guinea had significantly lower ratings for the Bank’s effectiveness across these areas than respondents from other locations. Those areas with significant differences were:  Basic infrastructure  Communicable/non-communicable diseases  Water and sanitation  Trade and exports  Economic growth and diversification  Energy  Health  Rural development  Education  Social protection  Agricultural development  Respondents across all stakeholder groups and geographic locations can be found in the Appendix. 22 The World Bank Guinea Country Survey 2013 VI. Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Drivers of Effectiveness To determine the key drivers of respondents’ ratings of the Bank’s overall effectiveness and ratings of its ability to help achieve development results in Guinea, bivariate correlational analyses were conducted using respondents’ ratings of the thirty six specific areas of effectiveness. Correlational analyses, however, are not able to tell us exactly what is causing respondents’ ratings of the Bank’s overall effectiveness or ratings of its ability to help achieve development results. Rather, these analyses tell us that as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, respondents’ ratings of the Bank’s overall effectiveness increase, or as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, ratings of the Bank’s ability to help achieve development results increase. Thus, it can be inferred that respondents’ perceptions of effectiveness in one sp ecific area are related to, or drive, respondents’ perceptions of the Bank’s overall effectiveness or perceptions of the Bank’s ability to help achieve development results.  Overall Effectiveness: Those specific areas with the highest Pearson Product-Moment correlations were determined to be the most closely related to perceptions of the Bank’s overall effectiveness, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the Bank’s overall effectiveness in Guinea. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  Law and justice;  Poverty reduction;  Health;  Domestic private sector development; and  Anti corruption.  Achieving Development Results: Those specific areas with the highest Pearson Product- Moment correlations were determined to be the most closely related to perceptions of the Bank’s ability to help achieve development results in Guinea, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the Bank’s ability to help achieve development results. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  Poverty reduction;  Rural development;  Economic growth and diversification;  Anti corruption; and  Agricultural development. 23 The World Bank Guinea Country Survey 2013 VII. World Bank Knowledge and Instruments Knowledge: Frequency of Use  There are some interesting stakeholder group differences in their usage of the World Bank’s knowledge work and activities.  Consultants on Bank-supported projects and respondents from PMUs and the media indicated that they consult the World Bank knowledge work and activities the most frequently, from a few times a year to weekly.  Employees of ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies and respondents from the private sector/financial sector/private banks indicated that they consult the World Bank knowledge work and activities much less frequently, from never to a few times a year.
