Book Synopsis Evaluating the Impact of Development Projects on Poverty by : Judy L. Baker
Download or read book Evaluating the Impact of Development Projects on Poverty written by Judy L. Baker and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the billions of dollars spent on development assistance each year, there is still very little known about the actual impact of projects on the poor. There is broad evidence on the benefits of economic growth, investments in human capital, and the provision of safety nets for the poor. But for a specific program or project in a given country, is the intervention producing the intended benefits and what was the overall impact on the population? Could the program or project be better designed to achieve the intended outcomes? Are resources being spent efficiently? These are the types of questions that can only be answered through an impact evaluation, an approach which measures the outcomes of a program intervention in isolation of other possible factors. This handbook seeks to provide project managers and policy analysts with the tools needed for evaluating project impact. It is aimed at readers with a general knowledge of statistics. For some of the more in-depth statistical methods discussed, the reader is referred to the technical literature on the topic. Chapter 1 presents an overview of concepts and methods. Chapter 2 discusses key steps and related issues to consider in implementation. Chapter 3 illustrates various analytical techniques through a case study. Chapter 4 includes a discussion of lessons learned from a rich set of "good practice" evaluations of poverty projects which have been reviewed for this handbook.

This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ) (School of Business and Economics), course: Project Planning and Management, language: English, abstract: The paper provides a critical analysis of a social development project in Zambia in terms of its sustainability after the cessation of donor or local financial support. Specifically, the paper focuses on the challenges experienced in the implementation of such a project and the measures devised for its sustainability. The Zambia Social Investment Fund (ZAMSIF) development project regarded as an all- embracing project with coverage of almost every aspect of a full –fledged social development project is used as the case study. The study underscores a number of significant achievements of the ZAMSIF project, suggestive of the project’s effectiveness as one single largest poverty reduction programme in Zambia. The project implementation process embraces upward and downward accountability with direct ownership and resource cost contribution into the project by most of the communities for effective implementation and sustainability. Some of the challenges encountered in the implementation process are elucidated in the paper.

Independent Evaluation Group. Sector, Thematic and Global Evaluation and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment rates the outcome moderately satisfactory for the Third Social Investment Fund and the Fourth Social Investment Fund projects for Honduras. The central objective of Honduran Social investment Fund (FHIS) of supporting the government's poverty alleviation strategy was relevant and in line with the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) and the Country Assistance Strategy (CAS). The assessment rates overall sustainability as unlikely for both credits. Although most FHIS projects are reported (in project evaluations) to be in use, the same evaluations also note that they are often not used in full and there were many problems with the quality of subprojects and with their maintenance. Overall Bank performance was satisfactory with caveats. Bank staff was overoptimistic about the possibilities of securing maintenance, first by expecting too much from line ministries and later by relying too heavily on user committees. The experience of the two projects offers three lessons: While social funds are attractive for donors and can initially be successful in providing remote communities access to basic health and educational facilities, the experience of the Honduras social fund shows that they are not a long-term sustainable solution for providing basic infrastructure. Because of the apparent success in its core activity of financing basic infrastructure projects, FHIS has been and continues to be attractive for donors for programs that do not belong to the core activity.

Book excerpt: Huge strides have been made in the last 20 years in reducing the number of the world's population living in extreme poverty. More people have access to clean water and sanitation and more children are at school. Diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS are under control. However, progress has been patchy with most improvement seen in countries with good economic growth such as China and India which have lifted millions of their citizens out of extreme poverty. Economic development rather than international aid has been the main reason behind this reduction global poverty. We have seen the growth of a new breed of social investors using a social impact investment approach to design businesses that tackle poverty and its related social issues. Tan & Griffiths describe the growth of the social impact investment sector using case studies and the emergence of social impact funds. they argue that social impact investing has the potential to become a new asset class to bring in much needed private capital to create jobs and reduce poverty in the developing countries.
