Report – Institutional development: Netherlands support to the water sector 1988-1998

The Policy and Operations Evaluation Department (IOB) carried out an independent evaluation of the new institutional objectives in Dutch aid to the water sector in four countries: Bangladesh, Egypt, India and Mozambique. These four countries are among the main recipients of aid to the water sector and count for 40 percent of the disbursements. The limitation of the study to these four countries also meant more of a focus on drinking water and drainage and related water management support and less on irrigation support and sanitation.
