Community Development in Drought-Prone Areas
This study was designed to measure the appropriateness and effectiveness in the implementation of government-sponsored drought intervention programs. Farmers opined that mini-kit seeds and fertilizer and relief employment programs did not adequately meet their needs, whereas livestock feeding and soil and water conservation programs were considered appropriate to mitigate the impact of drought. Interestingly, beneficiaries identified a 42% to 72% implementation gap with respect to four Government assistance programs studied. Results also brought forth the striking differences between program evaluation by the clientele group and self-evaluation by development department personnel. The paper discusses the policy implications and provides suggestions for implementing community development programs.
