When Development Projects go Orphan

From 1980 to 1998, Sweden provided bilateral funds for forestry development in Nicaragua. The total amount financed by Sida during this period amounts to nearly SEK 400 million. The overriding objective for the Swedish support was to contribute to major changes in the traditional manner of managing forest lands in Nicaragua and to lay the foundatons for forestry as a sustainable economic activity generating employment, export income and environmental benefits.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the development of the forestry programme and estimate lasting results; and to identify the main external and internal factors which shaped the programme and contribute to a discussion on principled lessons, thereby promoting the learning process within Sida and other international development agencies.
