    Mapping the benefit-cost ratios of interventions against bovine trypanosomosis in Eastern Africa 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This study builds upon earlier work mapping the potential benefits from bovine trypanosomosis control and analysing the costs of different approaches. Updated costs were derived for five intervention techniques: trypanocides, targets, insecticide-treated cattle, aerial spraying and the release of sterile males. Two strategies were considered: continuous control and elimination. For mapping the costs, cattle densities, environmental constraints, and the presence of savannah or riverine tsetse spe cies were taken into account. These were combined with maps of potential benefits to produce maps of benefit-cost ratios. Author’s Accepted Manuscript, published with permission.

    WinDASI: A Software for Cost-Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects. Installation Note   2005
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    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.
