Synopsis (short abstract) This lesson is the second step of the capacity-building program, which is designed to build national capacities as well as harmonize procedures for developing information of salt-affected soils at the national and global levels. The overall goal of this guide is to support participants in software installation and using the software to organize input data for assessing salt-affected soils at the national level. At the end of the lesson, the participants are expected to have installed software and organized the database for mapping salt-affected soils in their countries.

    This lesson is the third step of the capacity-building program, which is designed to build national capacities as well as harmonize procedures for developing information of salt-affected soils at the national and global levels. The overall goal of this guide is to support participants in developing spatial gridded maps of soil properties (indicators) related to salt-affected soils at the national level. At the end of the lesson, the participants are expected to have technical capacity in generating spatial information on soil indicators of salt-affected soils in their countries.

    WinDASI: A Software for Cost-Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects. Installation Note   2005

    This module contains the WinDASI software and a note that illustrates how to carry out the installation of WinDASI on your personal computer. WinDASI is a software for Cost-benefit Analysis (CBA) of investment projects that allows the analysis of the financial and economic viability of investments. In particular, it facilitates the systematic storage of data for Cost-Benefit Analysis and allows to calculate: a) flows of physical quantities of outputs, inputs and investment items; b) flows of cur rent, discounted and cumulative costs, benefits, and net benefits; c) flows of incremental (With-Without project) current, discounted and cumulative net benefits; and e) indicators of financial and economic viability such as the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the Benefit/Cost Ratio, (BCR), the Switching Values (SVs) and Sensitivity tests. Instructions are provided on how to carry out calculations for the different components of an investment project, notably: plans, zones and projects (i.e. at different levels of aggregation). In addition, the software can deal with comparisons of different projects and alternative scenarios (e.g. with–project versus without-project), and normal and phased modes of calculation.
