【 摘 要 】

Zambia's Social Recovery Fundpromotes community-driven infrastructure rehabilitationthrough microprojects aimed at cushioning vulnerable groupsagainst the negative effects of adjustment.The fund wasformed in 1991 as part of the Social Recovery Project, whichwas designed to build the capacity of local communities andgovernments to plan, implement, and manage communityinvestments.Since 1992, the fund has used beneficiaryassessments to ensure that funded microprojects target thepoor (by allowing the poor to set priorities for thefund's support) and improve overall projectperformance.Originally a monitoring exercise, beneficiaryassessments have become a valuable tool for fosteringcommunity participation and building in-country capacity insocial assessment methodologies.
