Summary of FY 2024 Burundi Country Opinion Survey Report

• Objectives: The survey aimed to gauge stakeholder perceptions of the World Bank Group (WBG) in Burundi, assessing familiarity, trust, effectiveness, and alignment with development priorities.

• Methodology Overview: Conducted from March to May 2024, with 414 potential participants (including government institutions, civil society, academia, and private sector) yielding 237 respondents (57% response rate). Responses were collected online or via courier, comparing trends with the FY21 survey.

• Overall Context and Stakeholder Perceptions:

  • WBG familiarity is high (mean rating 5.9 on a 10-point scale), similar to FY21, but higher among collaborating stakeholders (e.g., bilateral agencies). Trust in WBG improved, ranking among top institutions, while least trusted were IMF and youth organizations.
  • Effectiveness ratings increased for helping achieve results and aligning with priorities, though some sectors (e.g., health, energy) showed slight declines per FY21 comparisons.

• Development Priorities and Support:

  • Top development priorities include agriculture, energy, and debt management. WBG is effective in health but needs improvement in transport and education. Stakeholders emphasize sectors like mining, tourism, and industrialization.

• Engagement and Collaboration:

  • Perceived effective collaboration with national government and civil society. Respondents suggest increasing partnerships with local governments and the private sector. Collaboration improves perceptions, and financial instruments are viewed positively but favorability varies by stakeholder group.

• Financial Instruments and Knowledge Work:

  • Financial resources and technical assistance are highly valued. WBG is seen as effective in monitoring and evaluations but needing timely disbursements. Knowledge work is moderately valued; fewer respondents reported familiarity, but ratings for relevance and adaptability improved.

• Future Role and Improvements:

  • Key recommendations include simplifying processes, enhancing alignment with Burundi’s context, investing in infrastructure and agriculture, and improving capacity-building. Long-term partnerships and reducing formalities are prioritized for impact.

• Communication and Outreach:

  • Events and direct contact are preferred communication channels, while media favors e-newsletters. WBG topics like climate change and women's empowerment are most recalled, with high concern about food security and environmental issues.

• Sample Demographics and Methodology:

  • Respondents include diverse stakeholders, with collaboration rates higher in bilateral agencies and lower in media. Methodology was largely similar to FY21, with detailed indicators tracked for annual scorecard assessments. key findings are statistically significant, showing trends in stakeholder attitudes over time.
