The study seeks to answer four questions
that summarize the fundamental issues in the international
debate about the capacity of social funds to improve
beneficiaries' living conditions: o Do social funds
reach poor areas and poor households? Do social funds
deliver high-quality, sustainable investments? Do social
funds affect living standards? How cost-efficient are social
funds and the investments they finance, compared with other
delivery mechanisms? The findings and lessons from this
research reflect a specific moment in the evolution of six
social funds and therefore may not fully predict the future
impact of current investments. The evaluation assesses
subprojects identified and implemented between 1993 and
1999, a period when longer-term objectives-such as
increasing access to and utilization of basic services-began
to supplant the funds' original emergency mandates. The
time period selected allowed enough elapsed time following
the implementation of the social fund subprojects to make
measurement of impact and sustainability possible. The
evaluation does not consider the effects of social fund
projects on employment or on income generation-the original
objectives of the first generation of social funds, which
were introduced in Latin America. It also does not discuss
the effect of social fund investments on capacity building-a
more recent emphasis of social funds seeking to assist
decentralization and community development. |
