In today’s climate of diminishing funding,
cost-benefit analysis is being used to
demonstrate the economic benefits of training,
extension, institutional strengthening and
research projects. To help non-economists
develop funding proposals and assist
administrators set priorities, eSYS has
developed the Global software package.
