Course Overview
This course seeks to provide a practical overview on strategic agricultural investment planning as well as planning, implementation, management and evaluation of agricultural projects. The course will give the learners the requisite skills for understanding the mechanisms for channeling national and international development assistances via investment in developing countries in order to promote agricultural and rural development. Although projects are virtually in every sector of the economy, it is expected that there will be a bias on agricultural projects. However, the concepts and skills which are to be taught to the students will be applicable to any project in any sector of the economy
