The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Mauritania or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the Bank's team that works in Mauritania, more in-depth insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the 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 Mauritania. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Mauritania. The survey was designed to achieve the following objectives: Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Mauritania perceive the Bank; Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Mauritania regarding: · Their views regarding the general environment in Mauritania; · Their perceived overall value of the World Bank in Mauritania; · Overall impressions of the World Bank as related to programs, poverty reduction, personal relationships, effectiveness, knowledge base, collaboration, and its day-to-day operation; and · Perceptions of the World Bank's communication and outreach in Mauritania.
