The project covers the rural areas of the northern provinces of the Chuquisaca Department in Bolivia. Its cost was USD 21.0 million and the amount of the IFAD loan USD 13.8 million. The target group comprised 20 010 families of which 6 000 were provided with supervised credit. It was an integrated rural development project, including infrastructure and support services, implemented from October 1983 to September 1993. The Completion Evaluation emphasized extensive fieldwork. The design, implementation and outcome of the project were discussed at length in communal assemblies and with peasant authorities. The assessment has greatly benefitted from the self-evaluation work carried out by the project.
