Writing and Presenting Feasibility Studies and Options Papers
Organisations across Africa commission feasibility studies and options papers before committing to projects, sites or investments, yet many such documents fail to give leaders a defensible basis to choose. This course teaches analysts and managers to research, structure and write feasibility studies and options papers that compare alternatives fairly and lead to sound, well documented decisions.
