In spite of huge investments in flood control, drainage, and irrigation projects in Bangladesh, there have been very few evaluations to assess how effective this large investment in water resources development has been in either economic or social terms. There is a need for the development of a common methodology for the evaluation of water sector projects which would help overcome some of these problems and a coordinated approach to the evaluation of flood control, drainage, and irrigation (FCDI) projects in Bangladesh in order to provide an informed basis for government policy decisions. Part I of the paper addresses the first of these needs. It presents some general guidelines for the evaluation of FCDI projects in Bangladesh as a first step towards developing a common methodology for such studies. Part II outlines some preliminary definitions and methodological issues and is divided into three sections: monitoring and evaluation; the project evaluation process; and problems in sampling. Part III presents guidelines for undertaking economic evaluation, social evaluation and assessment of overall project performance. It concludes with a discussion of the relative merits of large scale full evaluations of projects and small scale mini evaluations. The last part presents some tentative conclusions and makes some suggestions on how the evaluation process may be institutionalized in Bangladesh.
