Abstract
Evaluation, which is written entirely in Spanish, covers the period 9/79-10/80 and is consists of the special evaluation prepared by the Inter-American Legal Services Association. The evaluation focuses on the technical and legal aspects of MDM's work and assesses MDM's capabilities in the field of legal assistance to the poor. After a presentation of the methodology used to prepare the evaluation, the author examines each of the following questions: (1) Can a legal services program operate efficiently with a volunteer base? (2) Should MDM operate in a large number of areas or is it preferable to concentrate efforts in only a few? (3) What should be the relationship between MDM and other Peruvian legal services programs? (4) What kind of persons should MDM have to carry out its legal services programs? (5) How should MDM's legal services operation be organized and managed? Finally, recommendations are offered. An English account of the evaluation's conclusions and recommendations is found in the PES to which this document is attached (PD-AAG-603-A1).
