Afghanistan - World Bank Country Survey 2012
Questionnaires
Overview
The Questionnaire consists of 9 Sections:
A. General Issues facing Afghanistan:
Respondents were asked to indicate their perspectives on the transition process, the top three development priorities, and
which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Afghanistan.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank:
Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the World Bank, the Bank's effectiveness in Afghanistan, Bank staff
preparedness, the extent to which the Bank meets Afghanistan's need for knowledge services and financial instruments, the
extent to which the Bank should and does seek to influence the global development agenda, 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 the Bank to focus its resources, the
Bank's greatest values and greatest weaknesses in its work, the most and least effective instruments in helping to reduce
poverty in Afghanistan, with which groups the Bank should work more in Afghanistan, and how they attribute slow or failed
reform efforts.
C. World Bank Effectiveness and Results:
Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the Bank's work helps achieve sustainable development results in
Afghanistan, and the Bank's level of effectiveness across thirty-six development areas, such as economic growth and basic
infrastructure.
D. The Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF):
Respondents were asked to indicate their familiarity with the ARTF and their level of agreement with a variety of statements
regarding the ARTF.
E. The World Bank's Knowledge:
Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult Bank knowledge/research, the areas on which the Bank
should focus its research efforts, and to rate the effectiveness and quality of the Bank's knowledge/research, including how
significant a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
F. 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 disbursing funds promptly, and the extent
to which the World Bank is adequately staffed in Afghanistan.
G. The Future Role of the World Bank in Afghanistan:
Respondents were asked to rate how significant a role the Bank should play in Afghanistan throughout the transition period
and to indicate what the Bank should do to make itself of greater value in Afghanistan.
H. Communication and Information Sharing:
Respondents were asked to indicate where they get information about economic and social development issues, how they
prefer to receive information from the Bank, their access to the Internet, and their usage and evaluation of the Bank's
website and PICs. 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 to indicate their level of agreement that they know how to find
information from the Bank and that the Bank is responsive to information requests.

effectiveness and results; the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF), the Bank's knowledge; working with the World
Bank; the Bank's future role in Afghanistan, and the Bank's communication and information sharing in Afghanistan.
