Suggestion for establishing project identification services in Africa

Abstract

As the title of this paper suggests, several important aspects of project development are not dealt with here. Thus, project selection, which is the logical next step after identification, is not discuss; nor are pre-investment, feasibility studies in all their aspects and project construction. In brief, the project identification process is a necessary first step in building a list of candidate projects, which should be passed through successive Stages of screening, before arriving at a short list, which could then be subjected to pre-investment study.
