USAID/INDONESIA ECONOMIC GROWTH SUPPORT ACTIVITY (EGSA)


PURPOSE

The purpose of this consultancy service is to strengthen the capacity of DG Budget's staff in Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA), a quantitative analytical tool used to determine the worth of a project, program, and policy and aid decision-makers in the efficient allocation of resources. CBA is widely used to determine if an investment (or decision) is sound and its benefits outweigh its costs while providing an objective way of comparing various project proposals.  This will be done by reviewing sample investment proposals, developing training modules, and delivering training.
