| |
| Course Contents |
| The course will provide students with comprehensive knowledge of project planning, appraisal, management and evaluation in developing countries. Along with actual and historical experiences in the field of aid projects to developing countries, emphasis will be placed on economic analysis (e.g. cost-benefit analysis) of development and environment projects. The inter-relation between policy issues and project implementation and running will be dealt with and the socio-cultural aspect of project management will be touched upon. |
| |
| Teaching And Learning Methods |
| The course will be divided into two parts, lecturing (2 per week) and exercises (2 hours per week). The exercise hours will concentrate on applying the theoretical information from the lectures to actual project cases from developing countries through quantitative analysis and evaluation. |
