Description
Summary:	Since the 1980s and early 1990s, the World Bank has been supporting projects that involve communities own development. This has been largely manifested in the design and implementation of community-based development (CBD) and community-driven development (CDD) initiatives, with the latter gaining increasing momentum in recent years. The purpose of this study was to assess the development effectiveness of the Brazil portfolio of CBD and CDD interventions as an input to the Bank-wide independent evaluation group (IEG) evaluation of CBD and CDD initiatives. This portfolio includes thirty projects (which are either CBD or CDD or include a CBD and CDD component) approved between FY1989 and FY2003. The evaluation framework for this study is based on operations evaluation department's (OED's) objective-based approach. It addresses issues related to the outcomes of CBD and CDD projects - including relevance, efficacy, and efficiency - their institutional development impact and sustainability. For the assessment of virtually all CBD and CDD projects in the Brazil portfolio, this study draws on a desk review of available project documents and self-evaluation reports. This study is structured around IEG's evaluation framework. Chapter one gives scope and methodology of the study. Chapter two sets the context, by providing background information on issues relevant to CBD and CDD interventions in Brazil. Chapter three presents a description of the portfolio being assessed. Chapter four assesses the outcomes of CBD and CDD projects, including their relevance to the country situation and the Bank's assistance strategy, their efficacy and to the extent possible, their efficiency. Chapter five addresses issues of institutional development, by exploring capacity enhancement at three levels - borrower, communities, and project municipal councils as well as the role played by non-government organizations (NGOs) in CBD and CDD projects. Chapter six examines the extent to which CBD and CDD projects are likely to be sustainable in the long run. Chapter seven concludes with lessons learned and possible implications for future support to CBD and CDD initiatives in Brazil. The annexes present in more details the evidence on which the arguments advanced in this study are based.
