Abstract: Five Bank-funded Urban Projects carried out in Brazil between 1979 and 1989 helped municipalities improve the provision of services and demonstrated that well-designed operations can lead to sustained improvement in living conditions for low-income residents, according to an OED Impact evaluation study, of the projects : Learning from Best Practice Urban Development Experience in Brazil, by Alcira Kreimer and Roy Gilbert, dated June 17, 1997. The study extracted lessons from experience that can be applied elsewhere. It recommends continuing efforts targeted at the urban poor, disseminating best practice experience, offsetting poor maintenance with high-quality materials, supporting policy and research institutions, and mainstreaming participatory evaluation methods.
