The Australian aid stakeholder survey has now closed. The survey is our attempt at setting up a new feedback mechanism for evaluating the performance of Australian aid. You can read more about the objectives of it in this blog post.
The first phase of our survey, launched in the middle of June, was a closed survey targeting pre-identified members of the development contractor and Australian NGO communities. We received a total of 105 responses – a respectable 73% of our sample frame.
The second phase of our survey, launched in the middle of July, was a public survey where all other interested stakeholders were welcome to participate. We received a total of 243 responses.
That brings our total responses to 358, making this one of the largest such surveys worldwide. Thanks to all who took part, and we look forward to sharing the results with you.
Re “we look forward to sharing the results with you.”
Will you also share the raw data? (anonymised to the degree necessary)
Hi Rick,
We have every intention of releasing the raw data, though parts of section 1 (“about the respondent”) may not be shared to remove any chance of participants being identified.
Regards,
Jonathan
The results of this survey are going be more interesting in the light of the proposed cuts by the coalition following the election.
I felt the speed of the increase in recent years was perhaps too rapid to be manageable and effectively implemented. However, such cuts actually causes more volatility to the aid program, reduced efficiency and effectiveness in country by country delivery, and limited effects on the MDGs.
Lets see the results soon.
thank you
