Abstract

One of the main reasons why the evaluation of Fund-supported programs has often stimulated such widely varying views is that program effects—and perhaps even more so their measurement—have been interpreted in very different ways. At the same time some of the basic characteristics of program countries, particularly their situation prior to the program period, have often gone unnoticed.
