The scope of the review covered all lending and non-lending activities of the Bank in the Water Sector of Ghana from 1974 to 2004. The methodology consisted the review of available documents at the Bank and information and data collected during field mission to Ghana for purpose of assessing the Government’s and Bank’s policies and strategies that have evolved over time and evaluating the interventions during the period under review. With respect to lending activities, the review evaluated the interventions based on the standard benchmarks of relevance, efficacy, efficiency, sustainability, and institutional development impact. The review also assessed the Borrower and Bank performance in the sector. The review drew lessons of experience and made recommendations to guide future strategies. A ‘with and without’ approach was employed to determine the counterfactual of the Bank assistance.

Country strategy and program evaluation
This evaluation review covers developments in Ghana’s agriculture and rural development sector overtime. Although the approach of the Study covered the entire Bank Group’s agriculture and rural development sector portfolio, eleven completed projects were reviewed specifically in detail while the on-going eight (8) projects, which were approved between 1997 and 2001, were also reviewed, but in summary form, to reflect the most recent developments in the Bank Group assistance strategy to Ghana’s agricultural sector, and to assess the extent to which lessons and recommendations of past experience have been adapted in the recent Bank Group-funded projects and programmes. Since these projects are still on going and many of them are less than two years into implementation, it is too early to assess project outcome, and therefore, the conclusions on the overall performance assessment of the Bank Group are based on the eleven completed projects.
