1) their views regarding the general environment in South Africa;
2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in South Africa;
3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in South Africa; and

Data appraisal

The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’12 (response rate is 14%, N=69). 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, means of the FY’15 data and the total number of respondents in both years are slightly different from those of the original data reported in appendices A, B, C, D, and F. For the weighted stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please see appendix E (page 91) of the report provided under the Related Materials tab.

数据评估
---------------------------
本年度国家调查的结果与年度财政预算（FY’12）期间进行的国家调查结果进行了比较（回应率为14%，样本量为69）。数据经过加权处理以达到两年内利益相关者组成的相同比例，从而允许进行年度比较。在两个财政年度中均未出现的利益相关者群体未纳入比较。属于“其他”利益相关者类别的受访者也未包括在内。因此，FY’15数据的平均值和两年中的总受访者数量与附录A、B、C、D和F中报告的原始数据略有不同。有关加权的利益相关者分解和年度比较结果，请参阅报告下方的相关材料标签中的附录E（第91页）。
