V. The ECŐs new country strategy for cooperation with India does not fully apply the approach outlined in the CommissionŐs recent communication on fighting rural poverty, as it limits EC intervention to the health and education sectors, leaving aside other key sectors (agriculture, natural resources management) identified in that communication as needing to be addressed if rural poverty is to be tackled successfully (see paragraphs 45 to 47). 
V. I EG:s nya landstrategi fr samarbete med Indien tillmpas inte helt de riktlinjer som drogs upp i kommissionens nyligen offentliggjorda meddelande om bekmpning av fattigdom p landsbygden, eftersom det begrnsar EG:s insatser till hlsovrds-och utbildningssektorerna och frbigr andra centrala sektorer (jordbruk, frvaltning av naturresurser) som enligt meddelandet mste hanteras fr att man framgngsrikt skall kunna bekmpa fattigdomen p landsbygden (se punkterna 45Đ47).
Ń Ń The following recommendations are made on the basis of the CourtŐs observations and conclusions: Ôtargeting the poorŐ as well as ÔsustainabilityŐ should be given more systematic attention throughout the life of a project/programme (see paragraphs 53 and 56), chances of sustainability would improve if projects/programmes were allowed an appropriate implementation period from the outset, in combination with regular reviews, and included a proper exit strategy (see paragraph 56), 
Ń Ń Utifrn revisionsrttens iakttagelser och slutsatser lmnas nedanstende rekommendationer: ÓInriktningen p de fattigare delarna av befolkningenÓ liksom aspekten ÓhllbarhetÓ br ges mer systematisk uppmrksamhet under ett projekts/programs hela livstid (se punkterna 53 och 56). Utsikterna till hllbarhet skulle frbttras om projekten/programmen redan frn starten tilldelades en lmplig genomfrandeperiod och kombinerades med regelbundna granskningar samt innefattade en srskild avslutningsstrategi (se punkt 56).

INTRODUCTION Background 1. 
INLEDNING Bakgrund 1.
The basic legal framework for the EC cooperation with India currently in force is the ÔALA RegulationŐ of 1992 (1) which describes the aims of the CommunityŐs development and cooperation policies and the main areas of assistance. 
Den nu gllande rttsliga grunden fr EG:s samarbete med Indien r den s kallade ALA-frordningen frn 1992 (1) dr mlen fr gemenskapens utvecklings-och samarbetspolitik beskrivs liksom de viktigaste omrdena fr bistnd.
Article 4 of the Regulation states that Ôfinancial and technical assistance shall be targeted primarily on the poorest sections of the population ...Ő 2. 
I frordningens artikel 4 anges att Ódet finansiella och tekniska bistndet frmst [skall] ta sikte p de fattigaste befolkningslagren...Ó. 2.
More specifically, cooperation with India is governed by the Cooperation Agreement on Partnership and Development, which entered into force in August 1994 (2), replacing the earlier cooperation agreements of 1973 and 1981. 
Mer specifikt styrs samarbetet med Indien av samarbetsavtalet om partnerskap och utveckling som trdde i kraft i augusti 1994 (2) och ersatte de tidigare samarbetsavtalen frn 1973 och 1981.
According to Article 16 of this agreement, which deals in particular with development cooperation, projects and programmes are to be targeted on the poorer sections of the population. 
Enligt artikel 16 i avtalet, som srskilt behandlar utvecklingssamarbetet, skall projekt och program riktas till de fattigare delarna av befolkningen.
Particular attention is to be given to rural development with participation of the groups to be targeted and, where appropriate, the involvement of qualified non-governmental organisations. 
Srskild uppmrksamhet skall gnas t landsbygdsutveckling med deltagande av de grupper tgrderna riktar sig till och, nr s r lmpligt, kvalificerade icke-statliga organisationer.
Following the signing of the Cooperation Agreement, an EC-India cooperation strategy to the year 2000 was agreed in December 1994. 
Efter att samarbetsavtalet undertecknats ingicks i december 1994 en verenskommelse mellan EG och Indien om en strategi fr samarbete fram till r 2000.
This document sets out general strategies for development as well as for economic cooperation. 
I dokumentet anges allmnna strategier fr utveckling liksom fr ekonomiskt samarbete.
It states that the ECŐs support for development in India should have a strong impact on the alleviation of poverty, which is considered one of the most critical issues. 
Dr anges att EG:s std till utvecklingen i Indien skall ha stor inverkan p minskandet av fattigdomen vilket ses som en av de absolut viktigaste frgorna.
It also indicates that the ECŐs cooperation programme will support the implementation of appropriate sector policies as well as development projects. 
Det sgs ocks att EG:s samarbetsprogram skall stdja genomfrandet av lmplig politik fr olika sektorer samt utvecklingsprojekt.
A new strategy paper for the period 2002 to 2006 was being prepared at the time of the audit and was formally approved by the Commission in August 2002 (3). 
Ett nytt strategidokument fr perioden 2002Đ2006 hll p att tas fram nr granskningen genomfrdes och det godkndes formellt av kommissionen i augusti 2002 (3).
The paper defines the elimination of poverty as the overall guiding principle governing EC cooperation activities in India. 
I dokumentet anges att avskaffandet av fattigdom skall vara den vergripande ledande principen fr EG:s samarbetstgrder i Indien.
The Commission will continue its cooperation with the Central Government through the sectoral support programmes in elementary education and health and family welfare. 
Kommissionen kommer att fortstta samarbetet med centralregeringen genom de sektorsvisa stdprogrammen fr grundutbildning samt hlsovrd och familjestd.
In addition it plans to develop a special partnership with one Indian State and to spend available resources mainly in that State, with elementary education and basic health as the core areas. 
Dessutom planerar kommissionen att utveckla ett srskilt partnerskap med en indisk delstat och ansl de tillgngliga resurserna till framfrallt den delstaten, dr krnverksamheten skall utgras av grundlggande utbildning och bashl-sovrd.
Budgetary significance 5. 
Budgetmssig betydelse 5.
Total disbursements on all cooperation activities during the 12-year period 1990 to 2001 amounted to 657 million euro, an annual average of about 55 million euro. 
De sammanlagda utbetalningarna fr alla samarbetstgrder under tolvrsperioden 1990Đ2001 uppgick till 657 miljoner euro vilket ger ett rligt genomsnitt p 55 miljoner euro.
This includes disbursements under all relevant budget lines, including development and economic cooperation, humanitarian and food aid, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) programmes, and several other, minor, programmes. 
I detta ingr utbetalningar frn alla relevanta budgetposter, inklusive utvecklingssamarbete och ekonomiskt samarbete, humanitrt bistnd och livsmedelsbistnd, de icke-statliga organisationernas program, samt flera andra mindre program.
As can be seen in Table 1, over 70 % of total disbursements was spent on development cooperation. 
Som framgr av tabell 1 gick ver 70 % av de totala utbetalningarna till utvecklingssamarbete.

Disbursements on development cooperation totalled 481 million euro over the same period, an average of 40 million euro per year. 
Utbetalningarna till utvecklingssamarbetet uppgick under samma period till sammanlagt 481 miljoner euro, vilket innebr i genomsnitt 40 miljoner euro per r.
From the detailed data in Table 1 it can be seen that the level of disbursements on development cooperation activities increased significantly over the six-year period 1996 to 2001 (annual average of 54 million euro), compared to the preceding six-year period (annual average of 26 million euro). 
Av detaljuppgifterna i tabell 1 framgr att nivn p utbetalningarna till utvecklingssamarbetstgrder kade betydligt under sexrsperioden 1996Đ2001 (genomsnitt 54 miljoner euro per r) jmfrt med fregende sexrsperiod (genomsnitt 26 miljoner euro per r).
This change is directly related to the introduction of the sector-support programmes for education (in 1994) (1) and health (in 1998) (2). 
Frndringen hr direkt samman med infrandet av de sektorsvisa programmen fr std till utbildning (1994) (1) och hlsovrd (2) (1998).
The EC is an important grant donor to India. 
EG r en viktig givare av bidrag till Indien.
Nevertheless, its aid is modest in relation to the overall Official Development Assistance (ODA) received by India (which amounted to approximately 1 500 million US dollars per year including soft loans during the period 1997 to 1999) and in relation to the amounts invested by India itself. 
Det lmnade stdet r emellertid blygsamt i jmfrelse med det totala offentliga utvecklingsbistnd (ODA) Indien erhller (som uppgick till cirka 1 500 miljoner US-dollar per r inklusive mjuka ln under perioden 1997Đ1999) och med de belopp landet sjlvt investerar.
ODA as a percentage of IndiaŐs GNP amounted to only 0,3 % over the same period (3). 
Uttryckt som andel av Indiens BNP uppgick det totala offentliga utvecklingsbistndet under samma period (3) endast till 0,3 %.
Development cooperation programme 7. 
Program fr utvecklingssamarbete 7.
The 2001 portfolio of the CommissionŐs development cooperation activities under implementation in India can be subdivided into three broad types of activities: Ń 12 agricultural and rural development projects implemented by government agencies, Ń two sector-support programmes, one for education, which is to come to an end in 2003 (but is to be followed by a new programme), and one for health and family welfare, Ń four projects, implemented by large Indian and non-Indian NGOs, three of which focus on rural development and one on education. 
Kommissionens utvecklingssamarbetstgrder 2001 som r under genomfrande i Indien kan delas in i tre huvudgrupper: Ń tolv utvecklingsprojekt fr jordbruket och landsbygden som genomfrs av offentliga organ, Ń tv sektorsvisa stdprogram, ett fr utbildning som skall slutfras under 2003 (men som kommer att fljas av ett nytt program), och ett fr hlsovrd och familjestd, Ń fyra projekt som genomfrs av stora indiska och utlndska icke-statliga organisationer varav tre gller landsbygdsutveckling och ett utbildning.

OBSERVATIONS Targeting the poor 11. 
IAKTTAGELSER Inriktning p de fattigare delarna av befolkningen 11.
The 1992 ALA Regulation set out a policy of targeting development cooperation on the poorest sections of the population. 
ALA-frordningen frn 1992 anger en politik dr utvecklingssamarbetet r inriktat p de fattigaste befolkningslagren.
During the period covered by the audit, the Commission had not developed definitions or indicators to describe or identify further the intended target groups, either at the overall policy level, or in the CommissionŐs strategy document for India of 1994. 
Fr den period som omfattas av granskningen hade kommissionen inte tagit fram definitioner eller indikatorer fr att ytterligare beskriva eller identifiera de tnkta mlgrupperna, varken p den vergripande policy-nivn eller i kommissionens strategidokument fr Indien frn 1994.
On the other hand, at the operational level four of the eight audited projects/programmes gave clear definitions identifying poor, disadvantaged people as their target group (1). 
P den operativa nivn angav  andra sidan fyra av de tta granskade projekten/programmen tydliga definitioner dr mlgruppen identifieras som fattiga, missgynnade delar av befolkningen (1).
The health sector programme was less specific in its design, with its target group defined as Ôwomen and childrenŐ, but during its implementation more specific targeting measures were introduced. 
Programmet inom hlsovrdssektorn var inte lika tydligt utformat utan mlgruppen definierades som Ókvinnor och barnÓ, men under genomfrandet tillkom mera specifika mtt fr inriktningen.
The other three projectsŐ objectives were formulated in terms of technical outputs, but it appears that mostly disadvantaged categories of the population have benefited from these projects. 
Mlen fr de tre vriga projekten angavs i form av tekniska resultat, men det frefaller som om dessa projekt frmst kommit de missgynnade befolkningsgrupperna tillgodo.
During the implementation period the definition of disadvantaged groups was enlarged to include working children and the disabled. 
Under genomfrandet utvidgades definitionen av missgynnade grupper till att omfatta barn som arbetar samt handikappade.
(1) This was the case in the two rural development projects Doon Valley and BAIF, the education sector programme DPEP and the NGO-led education project PESLE.

The programme not only established more than 28 000 schools in the EC and World Bank-supported districts of the (former) State of Madhya Pradesh for about 1,2 million children, but also introduced educational reforms (including parentsŐ participation) in a newly created decentralised environment. 
Genom programmet inrttades ver 28 000 skolor i distrikten som fick std frn EU och Vrldsbanken i (tidigare) delstaten Madhya Pradesh fr cirka 1,2 miljoner barn, och man genomfrde ocks utbildningsreformer (inklusive deltagande av frldrar) inom en nyskapad decentraliserad ram.
The result was a substantial increase in enrolment of children from the target group, a decrease in drop-outs and an increased literacy rate. 
Detta resulterade i en betydligt kad inskrivning av barn frn mlgrupperna, ett minskat antal elever som hoppade av undervisningen och en kad lskunnighet.
For the two rural development projects ÔDoon ValleyŐ and ÔBAIFŐ a choice was made at the design phase to focus on improving the quality of life of poor, rural people. Subsequent choices determined the areas, villages and individual beneficiaries and the types of intervention needed (1). Even with such a clear targeting focus from the start, continuous monitoring was necessary, as the poorest people were very difficult to reach in practice. 
Fr de tv projekten fr landsbygdsutveckling Doon Valley och BAIF valde man p utformningsstadiet att fokusera p att frbttra livskvaliteten fr den fattiga befolkningen p landsbygden. I den pfljande urvalsprocessen bestmdes omrden, byar och enskilda mottagare och vilken typ av tgrd som krvdes (1). ven med ett s tydligt angivet ml frn starten var det ndvndigt med kontinuerlig vervakning eftersom det i praktiken var mycket svrt att n den fattigaste befolkningen.
In the Doon Valley project the objectives to stop land degradation and to improve farming methods in combination with conscious management of natural resources have been achieved in an area covering some 300 villages with a population of about 400 000 people. 
Genom Doon Valley-projektet har mlen att hejda markfrstringen och frbttra jordbruksmetoderna frenat med en medveten frvaltning av naturresurserna uppntts i ett omrde med cirka 300 byar med en befolkning p ungefr 400 000 mnniskor.
In the BAIF project, 26 000 families (with a final target of 33 000) have so far benefited from activities to increase agricultural production, to stimulate small-scale income-generating activities and to set up family-health-based projects (sanitation, nutri-tion). 
I BAIF-projektet har hittills 26 000 familjer (slutml 33 000) ftt ta del av tgrder fr att ka jordbruksproduktionen, stimulera smskalig inkomstgenererande verksamhet och starta upp projekt fr familjehlso-vrd (sanitet och livsmedelsfrsrjning).
An important achievement in both projects was also the establishment of peoplesŐ organisations in the villages for managing the development process. 
Ett viktigt framsteg i bda projekten var ocks att det bland befolkningen i byarna startades organisationer fr att frvalta utvecklingsprocessen.
The PESLE project started recently and is geared toward improvement of the quality of education. Although this has a relatively wide scope, an important number of activities explicitly target tribal or minority groups and children in urban slum areas. 
PESLE-projektet startade nyligen och r inriktat p att frbttra utbildningskvaliteten. ven om projektet har relativt stor bredd r ett stort antal tgrder riktade speciellt till stam-eller minoritetsgrupper och till barn i slumomrden i stderna.
During implementation measures were taken to direct the programme towards specific disadvantaged parts of the country, e.g. certain States with poor health indicators or urban slum areas. 
Under genomfrandet vidtogs tgrder fr att styra programmet mot vissa missgynnade delar av landet, som till exempel vissa delstater med indikatorer p dlig hlsa eller slumomrden i stderna.
For BAIF the target group consisted of families with a annual family income below 6 000 Indian Rupees, whereas the official poverty line at the time was defined as 11 000 Rupees. for the monitoring component, under which regular reviews are to be carried out, contain no reference to specific targeting objectives. 
I BAIF bestod mlgruppen av familjer med en rsinkomst per familj som var lgre n 6 000 indiska rupier, medan den officiella fattigdomsgrnsen vid denna tidpunkt definierades som 11 000 rupier. fras regelbundna granskningar hnvisas emellertid inte till inriktning p specifika ml.
