Description

The Independent Completion Report (ICR) Mission for the Quang Ngai Rural Development Programme (RUDEP) marks the end of the second phase of a ten year programme commitment. The objective of the mission is to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the RUDEP, and to make recommendations on viable options for enhancing the sustainability of the project outcomes. The mission will also serve to inform the refinement of the third phase of the programme.

RUDEP consists of five components in which diversification of agricultural production through a credit scheme, development of models of production and forest land allocation was combined with community infrastructure and training of the government staff and participants involved. RUDEP used a participatory process of planning at village level to inform commune development plans and provide the basis for programme interventions. RUDEP aims to empower poor households to improve their livelihoods sustainably and to contribute to rural development, governance and poverty reduction in Quang Ngai province. Implemented from 2001-2007, the second phase of the programme limited itself to selected communes of each of the districts.
