    Project planning and appraisal: Concepts,approaches and methods
    (Mzumbe University, 2017) Rwechungura Fred Alfred; Mombo Felister Michael
    This book is based upon my experiences as a student in economics (project planning and management), development practitioner, consultant and lecturer. Project planning is taught as a supportive subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as economics, agriculture, community development, education, industrial production and marketing, entrepreneurship, health, transportation etc. The core philosophical base for this book comes from my conviction that, although these disciplines vary in content, their broad approach to project planning and analysis is similar. This book therefore is addressed to these academic and professional disciplines. It involves brainstorming, planning, scheduling, budgeting, communicating, and organizing. A well and carefully planned project has got higher chances of successful completion. This book is one of the tools that one will find very valuable; it will help in reaching the decision as to whether one should implement a certain project and not the other. This book is designed specifically for students who are newcomers to the subject, and who may have a psychological barrier with regard to the subject, to practitioners who are not seasoned experts in this field. Therefore, this book provides the users with a clear and accessible introduction to the practice of project planning and analysis techniques including the preparation of basic project statements. The Author focuses on the key issues which need to be identified and resolved in the appraisal process, and which will help the potential appraiser to develop the skills he or she needs.
