RésEAU webinar: Session 2 - Financial and economic analysis of development projects

The RésEAU is organising a 2018 series of webinars, dedicated to water and open to all SDC staff and partner organisations to attend, which will run from April to September 2018.

The second RésEAU webinar took place on May 31st, 2018 and focused on A short introduction to the financial and economic analysis of development projects.

This webinar is of relevance to all who are working on designing, implementing and evaluating development projects, with a particular focus on the water sector.

What is Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and what is the difference to Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)? Why is economic assessment important for development projects, such as the ones SDC undertake? What are the appropriate methodology and the particularities of applying CBA or CEA in the water sector?

During this webinar, Pradeep Itty, Head of Quality Assurance and Poverty Reduction at SDC, presented an overview of the methodology for CBA and CEA in the development sector. This was followed by a presentation by Dr Dominique Guenat from the Bern University of Applied Sciences, who gave practical example of the application of this analysis in the water sector in Zimbabwe. These two experts answered all questions during the second part of the webinar, which was dedicated to a Q&A session.
