Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: This manual has been prepared for use in conjunction with the USDA Agricultural Project Analysis Course, which is offered for planners, officials, and other key professionals of developing countries. The course itself is broader in scope and deals more fully with actual projects, linkages of projects to overall economic development, information gathering, and project implementation. At the heart of all this is prediction of the impacts of proposed projects, and wise selection among them. Getting accurate facts about costs and benefits is part of it. Equally important is the correct handling and interpretation of these facts. The focus of this manual is on the pivotal concepts and methods around which such "benefit-cost analysis" is built. The purpose of the USDA course is not only to help participants themselves to analyze agricultural projects more effectively. Many are organizing and teaching similar courses in their home countries, as well as providing informal guidance to associates in efforts to improve project analysis procedures. Hopefully this manual, and the teaching suggestions it contains, can be useful in these undertakings.
