countries. The data DoS collects will be
used internally by DoS to determine
how its missions can maximize the
impact of their public diplomacy
resources: DoS analysts will use the data
to produce guidance on how budget,
personnel, and other resources that
drive USG communications to foreign
publics can be used more efficiently and
effectively. The U.S. Information and
Educational Exchange Act of 1948, the
State Department Basic Authorities Act
of 1956 (in particular, 22 U.S.C. 2732),
and the Mutual Educational and
Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 give DoS
the legal authority to engage in public
diplomacy activities, including this data
collection.
Methodology
Surveys will be administered by
experienced in-country data collection
subcontractors who will also clean and
weight the data and then transfer the
final data file to Department of State for
analysis. Sampling strategies will vary
by country/data collection
subcontractor, but all surveys will
employ a sampling and weighting
strategy so that the surveys genuinely
represent the general populations in
terms of their geographic distribution
and their demographic characteristics.
For each country, the data should have
an aggregate margin of error of no more
than ±5% at a 95% level of confidence
and should be free of any bias.
