Human and Social Development - Criticals Factors in Three Succesfull Adjustment Programmes

The purpose of this review is to provide a framework for discussing the evaluation reports of three closely related structural adjustment programmes. The programmes may appear different both in terms of design and timing, they have one thing in common. In comparison with most adjustment programmes evaluated by OPEV in recent times, the three programmes appear to have been successful. This review seeks to isolate those factors which might have contributed to their successful outcomes.
