Raises a variety of issues associated with a program evaluation: conflicting data, the role of upfront targets, the importance of models of causality, and the appropriate time frame. It also has a political dimension. The available data are somewhat conflicting. Some performance measures suggest that considerable improvements took place since the introduction of the program, but it is not clear that the program is the cause of these changes. There also is the question of whether the resources devoted to the program could be used better elsewhere.
