Economic Appraisal for Land and Geospatial Projects 1Consultingwhere Ltd, United Kingdom; 2World Bank; 3ACIL Allen The tutorial will provide policy makers and geospatial specialists with an understanding of the application of economic principles and methodologies to socio-economic evaluations of geospatial projects across a range of domains but with a focus on the land sector. it will also cover techniques for the effective presentation of results to policy makers. The master class will begin with a brief tutorial on the combination of methodologies used in recent national scales studies from developed and developing countries. These will focus on cost-benefit analysis and General Equilibrium Modelling. A further tutorial will cover some of the other techniques currently used in appraisals, ending with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each. In the second part of the session, we will use a case study to illustrate the trade-offs in evaluating a proposed investment from the perspective of different stakeholders. The following questions will be addressed: which methodology is appropriate to different circumstances; what strategies are effective to communicate the message; how are non-financial considerations factored in the analysis. This session will involve dividing the delegates in groups who will consider these perspectives and design an "elevator pitch" to present their conclusions.
