IFAD Guidelines on Economic and Financial Analysis - Vol. 3: Case studies

This document is the third volume of IFAD’s Internal Guidelines: Economic and Financial Analysis (EFA) of Rural Investment Projects. Volume 1 and Volume 2 provide the basic theoretical background and technical concepts of EFA, together with a definition of the minimum requirements for elaboration of comprehensive EFAs for IFAD-funded rural investment projects.

Volume 3 offers a ‘sourcebook’ of practical, short and well-referenced EFA guidance notes built on actual cases from EFA of various development projects.

The target audience comprises consultants working for governments, IFAD and other international financial institutions (IFIs), FAO Investment Centre economists in charge of preparing EFAs, and project design team members and mission leaders, particularly country programme managers.
