The evaluation covered the period 6/79-6/85. For evaluation findings, see the abstract of PD-AAS-200. Major recommendations were to: (1) extend, for 12 months, the project and the TA advisor"s contracts to continue National TA and Training Programs for Departmental Development Corporations (CORDE"s) and municipalities and to complete all construction subprojects; (2) complete the Huancayo and Cajamarca Urban Cadastral Surveys; (3) continue policy analysis and institutional development proposals for strengthening decentralization through completion of key studies and proposals related to municipalities, CORDE"s, and regional governments and (4) follow-up initial work on expanding the role of CORDE"s and municipalities in the areas of action-oriented planning, revenue generation (including promotion), and community participation in planning and implementation. As of 12/31/85, action is complete on recommendation 1; under recommendation 2, the Huancayo survey is complete and the Cajamarca survey projected for completion by 12/86. Also, the 1986 operating plans currently being negotiated take into account the evaluation recommendations, especially no. 3 above. Finally, a series of documents was published, 7/85-12/85, to disseminate various policy studies.
