| Summary: | This report presents findings of an
impact evaluation of a rural irrigation investment program
with multiple components in coastal Peru. It addresses three
questions: whether the program was effective, whether the
program’s multicomponent design contributed to its
effectiveness, and whether the program had spillover
effects. The primary audiences for this report are
development practitioners engaged in designing similar
projects, evaluators interested in using similar
methodology, and the general evaluation community. The rest
of this report is organized as follows. Chapter 1 briefly
explains how irrigation projects transmit their impacts,
identifies potential areas of concern for this type of
project, and illustrates these with experiences in
water-related projects around the world. Another section in
this chapter provides some necessary background on the
agricultural sector in Peru, past and present, and a brief
description of the irrigation program and each of its
components. Chapter 2 discusses the mixed-methods approach
used in the impact evaluation, focusing on data description.
Chapter 3 elaborates on the technical strategy used to
identify impacts. Chapter 4 presents and discusses the
findings. Chapter 5 presents concluding remarks. |
