The Watershed Management and Poverty Alleviation project in Karnataka, India (known as the Sujala Project), was characterised by an intensely inclusive and flexible monitoring and evaluation (M&E) process, which led to the project’s overall greater effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness. In a review of the program, the World Bank found that many of the project’s approaches had been incorporated into India’s national watershed policy guidelines (World Bank, 2013). Reviews of the program suggest that the M&E process played a significant role in the program’s success and opportunities for scale-up (Raju and Dhananjaya, 2010).
