Objectives This survey was designed to assist the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Guinea perceive the WBG. The survey explored:  General Issues Facing Guinea  Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group  World Bank Group’s Effectiveness and Results  The World Bank Group’s Knowledge Work and Activities  Working with the World Bank Group  The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Guinea  Communication and Information Sharing  Background Information II. Methodology From April to May 2016, 492 stakeholders of the WBG in Guinea 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/Prime Minister; 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; bilateral/ multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; private foundations; the financial sector/ private banks; NGOs/community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations. A total of 384 stakeholders participated in the survey (78% response rate). Respondents completed the questionnaire with a representative from the fielding agency. Respondents were asked about: general issues facing Guinea; their overall attitudes toward the WBG; the WBG’s effectiveness and results; the WBG’s knowledge work and activities; working with the WBG; the WBG’s future role in Guinea; and the WBG’s communication and information sharing. Every country that engages in the Country Opinion Survey (COS) must include specific indicator questions that will be aggregated for the World Bank Group’s annual Corporate Scorecard. These questions are identified throughout the survey report. The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’13 (response rate was 75%, N=383). 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’13 COS report and the non- weighted data presented in appendices A, B, C, D, and F. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix E (page 99). 3 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea III. Demographics of the Sample Current Position  For further analyses, respondents from the Office of the President/Prime Minister were combined with respondents from the office of a minister; respondents from PMUs and consultants working on WBG-supported projects were combined with employees of ministries; respondents from financial sector/private banks were combined with those from private sector organizations; respondents from NGOs/community based organizations, youth groups, faith-based groups, private foundations, and trade unions were combined in the “CSO” category; and the few respondents from academia/research institutes/think tanks, bilateral/multilateral agencies, and the judiciary branch were included in the “Other” category. 4 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Area of Primary Specialization 5 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Geographic Locations  Geographic location comparisons can be found in Appendix C (page 90). Exposure to Agencies within the World Bank Group 6 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Familiarity with the World Bank Group  Year comparison: Respondents in this year’s Country Survey were significantly more familiar with the WBG than respondents in the previous FY’13 Country Survey (mean familiarity rating in FY’16 = 6.1; mean familiarity rating in FY’13 = 5.7).1  Respondents’ levels of familiarity with the WBG were significantly, strongly correlated with their ratings of the WBG’s overall effectiveness in Guinea, and significantly, moderately correlated with the extent to which the WBG plays a relevant role in development in Guinea, and the extent to which the WBG contributes to the country’s development results. 1 Please refer to Appendix E (page 99) for more details on data comparisons across years. The means in the chart were calculated based on un-weighted data. 7 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea IV. General Issues Facing Guinea Headed in the Right Direction2  Year comparison: This year’s respondents were significantly less likely to believe that Guinea is headed in the right direction compared to respondents in the FY’13 Country Survey.  Stakeholder groups: In this year’s Country Survey, respondents from the Office of the President/Prime Minister/Minister and local governments were significantly more likely to indicate that Guinea is headed in the right direction, whereas respondents from the office of a parliamentarian were least positive about the prospect of Guinea. 2 Percentages in the chart were calculated based on weighted data. 8 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea IV.

Sectoral Effectiveness Effectiveness of WBG’s Support in Sectoral Areas: Year Comparison5 5 All means presented in this chart were calculated based on weighted data. See Appendix E for details. 20 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea VI. Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Effectiveness of WBG’s Support in Sectoral Areas: Collaboration6 6 Note in the Appendix on the sectoral effectiveness (Appendix A, page 47) that primarily informed stakeholders responded to this question. Respondents were given the option of “don’t know” if they did not have exposure to the WBG’s work in certain development areas. 21 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea VI. Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Drivers of Effectiveness To determine the key drivers of respondents’ ratings of the World Bank Group’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 twenty three specific areas of effectiveness. Correlational analyses, however, are not able to tell us exactly what is causing respondents’ ratings of the World Bank Group’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 WBG’s overall effectiveness increase, or as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, ratings of the WBG’s ability to help achieve development results increase. Thus, it can be inferred that respondents’ perceptions of effectiveness in one specific area are related to, or drive, respondents’ perceptions of the WBG’s overall effectiveness or perceptions of the WBG’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 WBG’s overall effectiveness, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the WBG’s overall effectiveness in Guinea. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  The WBG’s effectiveness at health; and  The WBG’s effectiveness at agricultural development.  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 WBG’s ability to help achieve development results in Guinea, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the WBG’s ability to help achieve development results. The area determined to be key driver from these analyses was:  The WBG’s effectiveness at public sector governance/reform;  The WBG’s effectiveness at poverty reduction;  The WBG’s effectiveness at agricultural development; and  The WBG’s effectiveness at health. 22 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Guinea VI.
