Synopsis (short abstract) This module presents NGAMO 4, a practical step-by-step exercise in Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of investment projects, to be run with the WinDASI software. (The word NGAMO comes from the name of the zone of the original project that was located in Myanmar). The goal of this exercise is to analyze the financial viability of a coffee farm newly established in a phased mode, i.e. in different phases, and then to analyze overall viability of a zone with 250 farms joining the project in a phased mode . In this exercise two farm plans are used, no major constraints on input availability and output commercialization appear and the without scenario is set equal to zero. The analyst is required to determine the input and output flows, their discounted flows, verify net benefits and calculate the relative project indicators (NPV, IRR, and Benefit/Cost Ratio).

    No results found.
    This module presents a case study in Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of an investment project. It is useful for people who wish to improve their skills in financial and economic analysis and it is particularly suitable as a practical application of the FAO software for Cost-Benefit Analysis “WinDASI”. The exercise consists of a brief description of the project, a guideline for the structuring of project data and of an appendix with the project data.

    WinDASI Exercise: NGAMO 2: An irrigation project. Impacts of irrigation and mechanisation on traditional farms  2005

    This module presents NGAMO2, a practical step-by-step exercise in Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of investment projects, to be run with the WinDASI software. (the word NGAMO comes from the name of the zone of the original project that was located in Myanmar). The goal of this exercise is to analyze the technical feasibility of the irrigation project at farm level. The project analyst has to solve two major problems due to the expansion of production generated by the new irrigation scheme: excess de mand of labour compared with the supply available form the farm household and a lack of draught animals in the peak periods. The reader will see how project constraints are solved and which are the main changes with versus the without project situations (WiP versus WoP). Moreover, a new constraint is introduced, which is the financing constraint, with the purpose to analyze the economic impact of the credit component by calculating project indicators such as incremental NPV, IRR and Benefit/Cost Ratio and comparing them before and after the financing.

    WinDASI: a Software for Cost-Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects. Calculations Performed by the Software  2005
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This module illustrates how to carry out cost-benefit calculations of investment projects in WinDASI, after data are inserted in the database. It explains, by means of a step-by step procedure, how to calculate: a) flows of physical quantities of outputs, inputs and investment items; b) flows of current, discounted and cumulative costs, benefits, and net benefits; c) flows of incremental (With-Without project) current, discounted and cumulative net benefits; and e) project indicators such as the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the Benefit/Cost Ratio, (BCR), the Switching Values (SVs) and Sensitivity Analysis. 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, this module addresses normal and phased mode of calculation and comparisons of different projects alternative scenarios (with–project versus without-p roject).
