Project feasibility analysis

Course Description: This course focuses on presenting the fundamental concepts related to investment projects and feasibility studies, whether these projects produce goods or provide services, in order to determine their investment viability through detailed feasibility studies. These studies encompass market, technical, financial, economic, and social aspects, paving the way for selecting projects that yield the highest possible net benefit, thereby facilitating the optimal allocation of scarce investment resources. Feasibility studies include identifying both the total benefits and costs of a project. They also aim to select projects that are highly effective, efficient, scalable, and sustainable, and that align with the surrounding environment in terms of legal, social, economic, environmental, and cultural aspects. Furthermore, these projects should contribute to solving economic and social problems such as unemployment, inflation, balance of payments deficits, and income inequality.
