A short introduction to the financial and economic analysis of development projects
Mark your calendars! The RésEAU is delighted to announce a new webinar as part of its 2018 series of webinars, which will run from April to September 2018. It is open to all SDC staff and partner organisations to attend.
This second webinar is of relevance to all who are working on designing, implementing and evaluating development projects, with a particular focus on the water sector. What is cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and what is the difference with cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA)? Why is economic assessment important for development projects, such as the ones SDC undertake? What are the appropriate methodology and the particularities of applying CBA or CEA in the water sector?
During this webinar, Pradeep Itty, Head of Quality Assurance and Poverty Reduction at SDC, will present an overview of the methodology for CBA and CEA in the development sector. This will be followed by a presentation by Dr Dominique Guenat from the Bern University of Applied Sciences, who will give a practical example of the application of this analysis in the water sector in Zimbabwe. These two experts will be available then to answer all your questions during the second part of the webinar, which will be dedicated to a Q&A session.
