The surveys were also designed to capture data that would allow the construction of indicators that correspond both to the institutional environment and to some key dimensions of public sector performance. The framework for analyzing survey data offers an approach for validating the assumption that officials' performance does depend on institutional environment. It then allows some assessment of which aspects of institutional environment are impacting on performance. Finally, it identifies those reform actions that are most likely to result in higher performance, given in the country's existing public sector conditions. Surveys of public officials funded by the BNPP have been completed in Albania, Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, East Caribbean States, Guyana , Indonesia, Kenya, Macedonia, and Moldova.
Surveys are in progress in Bulgaria and India.
This program has provided funds for data analysis of a separate survey of public officials in Armenia. The survey instruments were based on a model designed in collaboration with Professor Bert Rockman of the University of Pittsburgh. World Bank staff working on a particular country tailored this basic questionnaire according to country-specific background and issues in public sector reform.
