Water

The Client and Stakeholder Survey focused on ADB's performance, progress in the DMCs, and recommendations on investment priorities and partnerships. The survey was distributed online, at water-related conferences, and during consultations with various stakeholders. Respondents to the Client and Stakeholder Survey of the Comprehensive Review of ADB's Water Policy Implementation totaled 367:

• 234 respondents from in-country consultations
• 103 respondents from regional conferences
• 30 respondents to the online survey.

The survey comprises seven questions grouped into three broad issues: progress made in the implementation of ADB water policies, priority areas for future investments, and partnerships to be developed.

Simple percentage distribution and cross-tabulation was used in analyzing the data culled from questionnaires filled out by respondents. Statistical tests to establish correlation among demographic characteristics of respondents were not conducted.

Some questionnaires were not appropriately accounted for because of incomplete responses. Also, because of the nature of the questions where there are at least three possible answers for each question, some cross tabulation tables could not be added to 100% due to double-counting.
