Paper presents the results of a study undertaken by IIMI as part of its Andean Regional Project which sought to assess the impact of the Irrigation Management Transfer (IMT) program in Colombia. The program provided an excellent opportunity to apply external indicators over time on three irrigation districts - RU, Rio Recio and Samaca - which were handed over to newly established water users associations in the early 1990s. The application of the indicators over an 11 year period (1985-1995) allowed performance comparisons of at least 4 years prior to and after the transfer. The indicators are then analyzed over the entire period to try to relate them to possible impacts due to the IMT program. While the usefulness and applicability of the indicators to assess impacts of the IMT program are evalauted, the paper does not attempt to question the way in which IIMI decided on the indicators themselves; but rather takes them for granted. The authors feel that the selection of a minimum set of indicators is an on-going and iterative process under the institutes current global program on performance assessment.
