International Development Project Appraisal, Execution Planning and Monitoring

Most developing countries have urgent needs for international development
assistance, but limited local capacity in terms of formulation and appraisal
of development projects. For this reason, a number of them fail to live up to
their full potential in attracting much-needed development aid resources. As a
matter of fact, many development funds periodically report that their
resources go unused due to a lack of wellprepared and well-appraised projects
to which they could commit resources. Using a pragmatic approach,
International Development Project Appraisal, Execution Planning and Monitoring
presents a panoramic view of the many activities involved in project
formulation and appraisal. The book is a unique reference tool for
professionals committed to development work as well as for the various
stakeholders in development projects. The concepts and methodologies involved
are explained in a simple fashion that makes the book a handy resource for
anyone interested in the preparation and appraisal of development projects,
regardless of his academic background or work experience.
