Type of Research Instrument
The Questionnaire consists of following sections:
A. General Issues Facing Papua New Guinea: Respondents were asked to indicate whether PNG is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in PNG, and how "shared prosperity" would be best achieved in PNG.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group: Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the WBG, the WBG's effectiveness in Papua New Guinea, WBG staff preparedness to help PNG solve its development challenges, their agreement with various statements regarding the WBG's work, and the extent to which the WBG is an effective development partner. Respondents were asked to indicate the WBG's greatest values and weaknesses, the most effective instruments in helping reduce poverty in PNG, with which stakeholder groups the WBG should collaborate more, in which sectoral areas the WBG should focus most of its resources (financial and knowledge services), and to what reasons respondents attributed failed or slow reform efforts. Respondents were also asked to respond to a few questions about capacity building, whether they believe the WBG should have more or less local presence and more or effective collaboration with the UN.
C. World Bank Group's Effectiveness and Results: Respondents were asked to rate the extent to which the WBG's work helps achieve development results in PNG, the extent to which the WBG meets PNG's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, the WBG's level of effectiveness across twenty three development areas, such as education, public sector governance/reform, transport, and job creation/employment.
D. The World Bank Group's Knowledge Work and Activities: Respondents were asked rate the effectiveness and quality of the WBG's knowledge work and activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
E. Working with the World Bank Group: Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements regarding working with the WBG, such as the WBG's "Safeguard Policy" requirements being reasonable, and disbursing funds promptly. They were also asked to indicate whether they think the WBG should take more risk in PNG and whether the WBG is adequately staffed in PNG.
F. The World Bank Group's Sectoral Focus in PNG: Respondents were asked to indicate which areas the WBG would be most valuable in related to sustainable development of mining sector, the oil and gas sector, and sustainable development of minerals revenues.
G. The Future Role of the World Bank Group in PNG: Respondents were asked to indicate what the WBG should do to make itself of greater value in PNG, and which services the Bank should offer more of in the country, and what the WBG should do to improve its collaboration with the UN in the field. They were also asked to which areas the country will benefit most from WBG playing a leading role as compared to other donors.
