This book deals with problems frequently encoun-tered by agencies, managers, and technicians who try to implement large-scale development projects. Specifically, it focuses on the implementation problems associated with projects sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) and the World Bank in developing countries. Some historical background on how implementation problems became a focus of concern is presented below. Development assistance on a significant scale started with Marshall Plan aid to reconstruct Western Europe following World War II. [1] In that case, the donor (the United States) asked not to be part of the process that determined how the money was to be spent. Instead, the United States asked the West European countries to establish their own priorities for assistance (which they did after a considerable amount of inter-country negotiation).

The book offers important guidelines in analyzing the technical, economic, financial, administrative and organizational, environmental, commercial, and institutional aspects of development projects. It also suggests a format for organizing these aspects into one comprehensive design as it emphasizes the need for analyzing investments in their entirety as opposed to analyzing them in separate segments. Managers and technicians from national and local governments, business corporations, parastatals or public enterprises, non-governmental organizations, development and commercial banks, and national and international aid funding institutions who are directly or indirectly involved in planning and implementing development activities will find this book useful. Teachers and students in project management, finance, banking, economic analysis, and development management will also find valuable learning gains from the book. The concepts and procedure in designing and analyzing development projects are illustrated using hypothetical case studies. The discussions and illustrations will serve as important guidelines in the implementation of development projects.
