Objectives This survey was designed to assist the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Honduras perceive the WBG. The survey explored:  General Issues Facing Honduras  Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group  World Bank Group’s Effectiveness and Results  The World Bank Group’s Knowledge Work and Activities  Working with the World Bank Group  The Future Role of the World Bank Group in Honduras  Communication and Information Sharing  Background Information II. Methodology From November 2015 to January 2016, 360 stakeholders of the WBG in Honduras were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a country opinion survey. Participants were drawn from the Office of the President, Prime Minister; office of a minister; office of a parliamentarian; ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; local governments; bilateral/multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; private foundations; the financial sector/private banks; NGOs/community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations. A total of 180 stakeholders participated in the survey (50% response rate). Some respondents completed the survey with the presence of a representative of the independent fielding agency; others received and completed the questionnaire online. Respondents were asked about: general issues facing Honduras; their overall attitudes toward the WBG; the WBG’s effectiveness and results; the WBG’s knowledge work and activities; working with the WBG; the WBG’s future role in Honduras; and the WBG’s communication and information sharing. Every country that engages in the Country Opinion Survey must include specific indicator questions that will be aggregated for the World Bank Group’s annual Corporate Scorecard. These questions are identified throughout the survey report. The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’13 (response rate is 43%, N=130). Data were weighted to reach the same stakeholder composition in two years, which allows for year comparisons. Stakeholder groups which were not present in both fiscal years were not included in the comparison. Respondents who belonged to the “other” stakeholder category were not included either. As a result, mean ratings, percentages of respondents, and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in the FY’13 COS report and the non- weighted data presented in appendices A, B, C, and E. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please refer to Appendix D (page 86). 3 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras III. Demographics of the Sample Current Position  For further analyses, respondents from the Office of the President/Prime Minister were combined with respondents from the office of a minister; respondents from the financial sector/private banks were combined with those from private sector organizations; and respondents from NGOs/community based organizations and private foundations were combined in the “CSO” category. Few respondents from the office of a parliamentarian, local governments, and independent government institutions were included in the “Other” category. Note that there were no respondents from trade unions, faith-based groups, youth groups, and the judiciary branch. 4 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Area of Primary Specialization 5 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Geographic Locations  Note: Because of the small number of respondents from San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba, analyses comparing geographic locations would not be statistically reliable and, therefore, were not conducted. Exposure to Agencies within the World Bank Group 6 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Familiarity with the World Bank Group  Year comparison: Respondents in this year’s Country Survey indicated significantly higher levels of familiarity with the WBG compared to respondents from the FY’13 Country Survey (weighted mean in FY’16 = 6.9; weighted mean in FY’13 = 5.7)1.  Respondents’ levels of familiarity with the WBG were significantly, strongly correlated with their ratings of the WBG’s overall effectiveness in Honduras, and significantly, moderately correlated with the extent to which the WBG plays a relevant role in development in Honduras, and the extent to which the WBG contributes to the country’s development results. 1 Please refer to Appendix D (page 86) for more details on weighting. Means in the chart were calculated based on un-weighted data. 7 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras III. Demographics of the Sample (continued) Familiarity with the World Bank Group and Other Development Banks  Respondents indicated statistically similar levels of familiarity with the WBG, the IDB, and the CABEI, whereas they were significantly more familiar with the WBG than with the CAF. 8 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras IV. General Issues Facing Honduras Headed in the Right Direction2  Year comparison: This year’s respondents were significantly more likely to believe that Honduras is headed in the right direction compared to respondents in the FY’13 Country Survey.  Stakeholder groups: In this year’s Country Survey, respondents from the Office of the President/Prime Minister/Minister and employees of ministries were significantly more likely to indicate that Honduras is headed in the right direction, while respondents from CSOs and the media were significantly less positive about the prospect of Honduras. 2 Percentages presented in the chart were calculated based on weighted data from the FY 2016 and FY 2013 Country Surveys. Please refer to Appendix D for more details on weighting. 9 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras IV. General Issues Facing Honduras (continued) Development Priority  Year comparison: Respondents in the previous FY’13 Country Survey indicated that the most important development priorities in Honduras were “education” (85%), “anti- corruption” (48%), “job creation/employment” (39%), and “crime and violence” (38%). 10 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras IV.

Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (continued) As noted in the “Methodology” section, the indicator questions referred to throughout the survey report are questions that are asked in every country that engages in the Country Opinion Survey. These will be aggregated for the World Bank Group’s annual Corporate Scorecard. The World Bank Group’s Overall Effectiveness3 (Indicator Question) Effectiveness of the World Bank Group and Other Development Banks4  Respondents gave significantly higher ratings for the WBG’s effectiveness than the effectiveness of the CAF. 3 Means presented in the chart were calculated based on weighted data from FY’16 and FY’13. 4 Means in the chart were calculated based on un-weighted data from FY’16. 15 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras V.

Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (continued) The World Bank and the IFC Working Together  Only those stakeholders who responded “Yes” to the question “Do your projects involve both the World Bank and the IFC?” provided their views on the working relationship between the World Bank and the IFC. 17 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras V. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (continued) Overall Ratings for Indicator Questions by Stakeholder Groups  Stakeholder groups: Respondents from the Office of the President/Prime Minister/ Minister had the highest mean ratings for the aggregated responses to the twenty six COS indicator questions, whereas respondents from CSOs had significantly lower mean ratings. Responses for individual indicator questions by stakeholder groups can be found in Appendix B (page 59).  Collaboration: Respondents who collaborate with the WBG had significantly higher mean ratings for the aggregated responses to the twenty six COS indicator questions (mean rating = 7.1) compared to respondents who do not collaborate with the WBG (mean rating = 6.5). Responses for individual indicator questions by exposure to the WBG can be found in Appendix E (page 91). 18 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras V. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (continued) Greatest Values  Year comparison: Respondents in the previous FY’13 Country Survey indicated that the World Bank’s greatest value to Honduras was its “financial resources” : “investment lending” (79%) and “policy based lending/budget support to the Government” (44%). 19 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras V. Overall Attitudes toward the World Bank Group (continued) Most Effective Instruments in Reducing Poverty  Year comparison: Respondents in the previous FY’13 Country Survey indicated that the World Bank’s most effective instrument in reducing poverty in Honduras was its “investment financing” (78%). 20 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras V.

Sectoral Effectiveness Effectiveness of WBG’s Support in Sectoral Areas: Year Comparison6 6 Means presented in this chart were calculated based on weighted data. 22 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras VI. Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Effectiveness of WBG’s Support in Sectoral Areas: Collaboration7 7 Note in the Appendix on the sectoral effectiveness (Appendix A, page 52) 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. 23 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras VI. Sectoral Effectiveness (continued) Drivers of Effectiveness To determine the key drivers of respondents’ ratings of the World Bank Group’s overall effectiveness and ratings of its ability to help achieve development results in Honduras, bivariate correlational analyses were conducted using respondents’ ratings of the thirty one specific areas of effectiveness. Correlational analyses, however, are not able to tell us exactly what is causing respondents’ ratings of the World Bank Group’s overall effectiveness or ratings of its ability to help achieve development results. Rather, these analyses tell us that as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, respondents’ ratings of the WBG’s overall effectiveness increase, or as ratings of effectiveness in one area increase, ratings of the WBG’s ability to help achieve 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 WBG’s overall effectiveness or perceptions of the WBG’s ability to help achieve 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 WBG’s overall effectiveness, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the WBG’s overall effectiveness in Honduras. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  The WBG’s effectiveness at anti-corruption;  The WBG’s effectiveness at climate change; and  The WBG’s effectiveness at food security.  Achieving Development Results: Those specific areas with the highest Pearson Product- Moment correlations were determined to be the most closely related to perceptions of the WBG’s ability to help achieve development results in Honduras, suggesting that ratings of effectiveness in those specific areas are drivers of perceptions of the WBG’s ability to help achieve development results. The areas determined to be key drivers from these analyses were:  The WBG’s effectiveness at poverty reduction;  The WBG’s effectiveness at anti-corruption;  The WBG’s effectiveness at social protection;  The WBG’s effectiveness at crime and violence; and  The WBG’s effectiveness at law and justice. 24 World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey 2016: Honduras VI.
