The best thing one can say about many development projects is that they have had little impact on their participants; the worst is that they have added to the misery and inequalities of target populations. It is the contention of this article that many of these ill effects are the unintentional results of how development agencies implement projects. The study will examine some institutional and structural aspects of projects that undermine positive results in the “development process,” such as requirements for numeric measurement of progress and bias in development approach. A large agricultural development project in Haiti will be used as a case study to illustrate these points
