The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Sierra Leone or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the World Bank's team that works in Sierra Leone, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank uses to assess the views of its critical stakeholders. With this understanding, the World Bank hopes to develop more effective strategies, outreach and programs that support development in Sierra Leone. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Sierra Leone.
The survey was designed to achieve the following objectives: - Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Sierra Leone perceive the Bank; - Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Sierra Leone regarding: · Their views regarding the general environment in Sierra Leone; · Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank in Sierra Leone; · Overall impressions of the World Bank's effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Sierra Leone; · Perceptions of the World Bank's future role in Sierra Leone. - Use data to help inform Sierra Leone team's strategy.

Mail Questionnaire [mail]
The Questionnaire consists of 8 Sections:
A. General Issues Facing Sierra Leone: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Sierra Leone is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, and which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Sierra Leone.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank: Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the World Bank, the Bank's effectiveness in Sierra Leone, Bank staff preparedness to help Sierra Leone 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 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 weaknesses in its work, the most effective instruments in helping to reduce poverty in Sierra Leone, 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 Sierra Leone, the extent to which the Bank meets Sierra Leone's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, and the Bank's level of effectiveness across forty-two development areas, such as education, energy, agricultural development, job creation/employment, infrastructure, and others.
D. The World Bank's Knowledge: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult Bank knowledge work/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/activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results 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 Sierra Leone's institutional capacity, and providing effective implementation support. Respondents also were asked that to what extent they believed the Bank was adequately staffed in Sierra Leone.
F. The Future Role of the World Bank in Sierra Leone: Respondents were asked to rate how significant a role the Bank should play in Sierra Leone's development in the near future and to indicate what the Bank should do to make itself of greater value.

The fourth edition of the Global Findex offers a lens into how people accessed and used financial services during the COVID-19 pandemic, when mobility restrictions and health policies drove increased demand for digital services of all kinds.
The Global Findex is the world’s most comprehensive database on financial inclusion. It is also the only global demand-side data source allowing for global and regional cross-country analysis to provide a rigorous and multidimensional picture of how adults save, borrow, make payments, and manage financial risks. Global Findex 2021 data were collected from national representative surveys of almost 145,000 people in 139 economies, representing 97 percent of the world’s population. The latest edition follows the 2011, 2014, and 2017 editions, and it includes a number of new series measuring financial health and resilience and contains more granular data on digital payment adoption, including merchant and government payments.
The Global Findex is an indispensable resource for financial service practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and development professionals.
National coverage
Observation data/ratings [obs]
In most developing economies, Global Findex data have traditionally been collected through face-to-face interviews. Surveys are conducted face-to-face in economies where telephone coverage represents less than 80 percent of the population or where in-person surveying is the customary methodology. However, because of ongoing COVID-19–related mobility restrictions, face-to-face interviewing was not possible in some of these economies in 2021. Phone-based surveys were therefore conducted in 67 economies that had been surveyed face-to-face in 2017. These 67 economies were selected for inclusion based on population size, phone penetration rate, COVID-19 infection rates, and the feasibility of executing phone-based methods where Gallup would otherwise conduct face-to-face data collection, while complying with all government-issued guidance throughout the interviewing process. Gallup takes both mobile phone and landline ownership into consideration. According to Gallup World Poll 2019 data, when face-to-face surveys were last carried out in these economies, at least 80 percent of adults in almost all of them reported mobile phone ownership. All samples are probability-based and nationally representative of the resident adult population. Additionally, phone surveys were not a viable option in 16 economies in 2021, which were then surveyed in 2022.
In economies where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of primary sampling units. These units are stratified by population size, geography, or both, and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day and, where possible, on different days. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used. Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Each eligible household member is listed, and the hand-held survey device randomly selects the household member to be interviewed. For paper surveys, the Kish grid method is used to select the respondent. In economies where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected from among all eligible adults of the interviewer's gender.
In traditionally phone-based economies, respondent selection follows the same procedure as in previous years, using random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers. In most economies where mobile phone and landline penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used.
The same respondent selection procedure is applied to the new phone-based economies. Dual frame (landline and mobile phone) random digital dialing is used where landline presence and use are 20 percent or higher based on historical Gallup estimates. Mobile phone random digital dialing is used in economies with limited to no landline presence (less than 20 percent).
For landline respondents in economies where mobile phone or landline penetration is 80 percent or higher, random selection of respondents is achieved by using either the latest birthday or household enumeration method. For mobile phone respondents in these economies or in economies where mobile phone or landline penetration is less than 80 percent, no further selection is performed. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day.
Sample size for Lesotho is 1010.

The Questionnaire consists of 8 Sections:
A. General Issues Facing Sierra Leone: Respondents were asked to indicate whether Sierra Leone is headed in the right direction, what they thought were the top three most important development priorities in the country, and which areas would contribute most to reducing poverty and generating economic growth in Sierra Leone.
B. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank: Respondents were asked to rate their familiarity with the World Bank, the Bank's effectiveness in Sierra Leone, Bank staff preparedness to help Sierra Leone 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 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 weaknesses in its work, the most effective instruments in helping to reduce poverty in Sierra Leone, 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 Sierra Leone, the extent to which the Bank meets Sierra Leone's needs for knowledge services and financial instruments, and the Bank's level of effectiveness across forty-two development areas, such as education, energy, agricultural development, job creation/employment, infrastructure, and others.
D. The World Bank's Knowledge: Respondents were asked to indicate how frequently they consult Bank knowledge work/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/activities, including how significant of a contribution it makes to development results and its technical quality.
