Abstract

This study, prepared with funding from the USAID sponsoredIrrigation Systems Management Project, reviews the literature on five major rehabilitation and modernization projects in Sri Lanka to draw lessons about the most effective ways to carry out rehabilitation and modernization projects. Documents consulted include project planing documents, projectimpact studies, project evaluations, and numerous other studies concerning these projects. The study touches on many aspects of these projects, including the correct balance between investment in physical works and management systems, the value of institutional development, and the effectiveness ofdifferent approaches to physical works. While the lessons drawn are of particular significance to Sri Lanka, they are also likely to be of interest to those concerned with planning, carrying out, and evaluating rehabilitation and modernization projects elsewhere
