Abstract

Usando una combinación de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos, este estudio evalúa la efectividad de los programas nacionales de riego en Bolivia – PRONAR y PRONAREC – en reducir la vulnerabilidad de comunidades agropecuarias. Proponemos dos indicadores prácticos para medir vulnerabilidad empíricamente, y desarrollamos una Teoría de Cambio que detalla cómo el riego podría afectar la vulnerabilidad de hogares agropecuarios. Procedemos a hacer una “propensity score matched difference-in-differences estimation,” que compara los cambios en vulnerabilidad entre hogares en cantones beneficiarios de un programa nacional de riego entre 2002 y 2012 y hogares similares en cantones que no se han beneficiado de programas de riego. Se complementa el análisis cuantitativo con un análisis cualitativo basado en entrevistas y grupos focales con oficiales actuales y anteriores así como beneficiarios en el altiplano, los valles y las tierras bajas de Bolivia.
