Reviews the performance studies of irrigation projects in Bangladesh with attention to both internal and external evaluations. The paper gives a brief description of each project, project objectives, purpose of evaluation, methodology followed, and parameters used. Results of the evaluations, however, are not presented as the paper concentrates on the methodologies issue. Methodologies for evaluation ranged from simple field inspections with random interviews to surveys with full sampling techniques. Although most studies appeared to have been based on secondary sources some internal evaluation studies utilized primary data. Evaluation studies reviewed in the paper suggest that individuals, rather than institutions, have had the initiative to undertake studies dealing with the performance of irrigations systems. The authors also point out that the studies have been heavily biased towards socio-economic aspects of systems with some attention to agronomic issues. The technical and engineering component of the evaluation have been mostly neglected, although this appears to be changing. The paper concludes with three recommendations that the authors feel would be of great help towards enhancing the understanding of past, present, and potential performance of irrigation systems in Bangladesh.

Tests the hypothesis that, in general, irrigation management transfer has positive impacts on operation performance, managerial accountability, O&M budgeting and expenditures, costs of water to farmers, and agricultural and economic productivity in the Alto Rio Lerma Irrigation District in Mexico. Evaluates the potential of the Mexican IMT process as a model for other countries.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 3779, PER Record No: H016384)
This paper presents an objective easy-to-use methodology for rapidly assessing the capacity of the managers and users of an irrigation system to respond positively to interventions to improve performance, and for identifying the types of interventions likely to succeed. The 'Performance Improvement Capacity Audit' is based on five basic questions on the system design, operations, data collection, management framework and the will to manage. It is applied retrospectively on five systems to demonstrate its potential usefulness. The methodology complements others which focus on assessing actual and potential system performance.
