Breaking the cycle of poverty through education 2001

Abstract

This digest of evaluation studies in the education sector is the first in the Operations Evaluation Office’s (OEO) Assessing Impact on Development Series. It provides a summary of issues, lessons, major findings, and conclusions of OEO’s recent studies and reports in the sector in reader-friendly format and language. The studies examine the issues contributing to the successes and failures of specific projects. This digest affords another avenue for the understanding of OEO’s role in promoting economic and social development within the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) developing member countries through its feedback to ADB operational departments and to executing and implementing agencies.
