The paper is based on experience gained by the author while evaluating the socio-economic impact of the International Development Agency (IDA) Shallow Tubewells (STW) Project in northwest Bangladesh. The objectives of the evaluation were to: (1) assess direct and indirect financial benefits; (2) examine the effectiveness of the improved repair and maintenance facilities provided under the project; and (3) identify socio-economic characteristics of the beneficiaries. However, during the course of the evaluation other objectives were added: (4) establish total STW installation and evolution of sales under IDA credit; (5) assess institutional and organizational development; (6) determine technical aspects of STW problems and remedial measures; and (7) examine policy implications arising out of the study. The methodology employed for the study included three phases: (1) a statistical survey by district to establish total STW installation, evolution of sales, cropped area, production, and production systems; (2) an interview questionnaire covering about 200 wells involving 4,000-6,000 farmers to establish a sample frame for detailed questioning; and (3) an in-depth questioning of about 500 farmers under 40 to 50 wells plus a number of farmers outside STW schemes.Simple statistical tools were used in the data analysis and financial and economic analyses were employed to calculate net incremental benefits for the individual crops as well as for the entire crop sector. The final section of the paper discusses the results of the evaluation and the implications for future decision making.
