Assessment of investment by in selected projects : Final report SRD007

Abstract

The Sugar Research & Development Corporation (SRDC) required benefit-cost analyses (BCAs) to be undertaken on six of their recently completed investments. Information from the original project proposal, milestone reports, final reports and relevant correspondence was extracted from the appropriate SRDC files and relevant published papers and reports and other material were assembled. Principal Investigators for each project were also consulted. Each of the six case studies provides a description of the project background, objectives, activities, costs, outputs, outcomes, benefits, quantification of benefits and results.
