Abstract
This paper describes the attitudes and expectations of the Bedouin towards sedentarisation, with a brief summary of the Jordanian Government's reasoning for its Bedouin settlement policy. The author explores an integrated model for assessing quantifiable economic as well as non-quantifiable social and distributional effects of settlement project investments. This model is based on the use of conventional cost-benefit analysis techniques for quantitative and/or purely economic results of project investment only, while applying a ‘Project Impact Matrix’ for measuring the degree of target achievement in the political and socio-economic field. The issues are demonstrated by ex post evaluation experiences of the Irrigation and Bedouin Settlement Project at Wadi Arja in Jordan. It is hoped that the methodological tools for project evaluation developed in this paper might be a basis to work from and a step forward in social impact assessment research.
