Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetConservation agriculture for climate change adaptation in Zambia: A cost-benefit analysis
Integrating agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Programme (NAP- Ag). Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans
2020Also available in:
No results found.This case study reports the results of a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) applied to the Conservation Agriculture Scaling-up Project (CASU) which promoted conservation agriculture for climate change adaptation in Zambia. The study also reports an econometric analysis conducted to determine the barriers to adoption of the promoted sustainable farm management practices and to estimate the impact of factors which may facilitate adoption. This study was carried out under the Integrating Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans programme (NAP-Ag) with the aim of generating empirical evidence about adaptation options in agriculture and to inform adaptation policy dialogues in Zambia. These findings can inform policy makers and development practitioners working to promote conseravtion agriculture measures for climate change adaptation in the context of national adaptation planning processes. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAssessing agroforestry practices and soil and water conservation for climate change adaptation in Kenya: A cost-benefit analysis
Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans
2020Also available in:
No results found.This case study analyses the economic worthiness of adaptation measures currently being practiced by some farmers on their land in Kenya. It uses cost-benefit analysis (CBA), which is recommended by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group as one of the methodologies to be used in the preparatory stages of the NAPs to rank and prioritize adaptation options according to their costs and benefits to society. The study’s findings can inform policy makers and development practitioners involved in formulating and implementing the NAP process. The study was carried out under the Integrating Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans programme (NAP-Ag), co-led by UNDP and FAO, with the aim of capacity building, generating evidence-based results for selecting adaptation options, and informing adaptation policy dialogues on adaptation in agriculture. -
DocumentWinDASI: 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.
