Malaysia: Case Studies on Poverty Exit - A Case Study from the 2006 Special Evaluation Study on Pathways Out of Poverty and the Effectiveness of Poverty Targeting
Ye, Qiaolun | December 2006
Abstract
The Sabah Land Development Project (the Land Project) and two township development projects, the Terengganu Tengah Township Development Project and the Second Terengganu Tengah Development Project (the Township Projects), were selected as case studies for this special evaluation study (SES) in view of their expected roles in promoting rural development and reducing poverty. The Land Project, which was rated generally successful by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aimed to develop land for palm oil production in Sabah, one of the poorest of Malaysia’s 13 states. The two Township Projects were located in the same district in the state of Terengganu. The first project constructed five new towns, and the second expanded them and established the sixth town. ADB rated both projects partly successful.
