Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Drivers of Effectiveness To determine the key drivers of respondents’ ratings of the Bank’s overall effectiveness and ratings of its ability to help achieve sustainable development results in Guatemala, bivariate correlational analyses were conducted using respondents’ ratings of the thirty-six specific areas of effectiveness. Correlational analyses, however, are not able to tell us exactly what is causing respondents’ ratings of the Bank’s overall effectiveness or ratings of its ability to help achieve sustainable development results. Rather, these analyses tell us that as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, respondents’ ratings of the Bank’s overall effectiveness increase, or as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, ratings of the Bank’s ability to help ach ieve sustainable 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 Bank’s overall effectiveness or perceptions of the Bank’s ability to help achieve sustainable 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 Bank’s overall effectiveness, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the Bank’s overall effectiveness in Guatemala. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  The Bank’s effectiveness at transport;  The Bank’s effectiveness at law and justice;  The Bank’s effectiveness at basic education; and  The Bank’s effectiveness at poverty reduction.  Achieving Sustainable Development Results: Those specific areas with the highest Pearson Product-Moment correlations were determined to be the most closely related to perceptions of the Bank’s ability to help achieve sustainable development results in Guatemala, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the Bank’s ability to help achieve sustainable development results. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  The Bank’s effectiveness at anti-corruption and  The Bank’s effectiveness at basic education. 24 The World Bank Guatemala Country Survey 2013 VII.
