Effectiveness of Sectoral Areas continued
Stakeholder groups:
There were significant stakeholder differences in respondents’ ratings for the WBG’s effectiveness in nine of the thirty five sectoral areas. In most cases,
respondents from the Office of PresidentCEOMinister gave the highest ratings for the WBG’s effectiveness, whereas respondents from the media tended to give significantly
lower ratings. There sectoral areas include: Transport;
Urban development; Regulatory framework;
Poverty reduction; Local governance and institutions;
Disaster management; Regional integration and cooperation;
Social protection; and Climate change.
Geographic locations: There were no
significant geographic differences in respondents’ ratings for the WBG’s effectiveness any of the thirty five sectoral areas.
Areas of specialization: It is worth pointing out that respondents who specialize in
“education” 16 of the sample gave significantly lower ratings for the WBG’s effectiveness in six of the thirty five sectoral areas listed below than respondents
specializing in other areas.
Information and communications technology; Regulatory framework;
Communicablenon-communicable diseases; Rural development;
Regional integration and cooperation; and Climate change.
Note in the Appendix on the sectoral effectiveness Appendix A, page 78 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.
