 Applying Distributional Analysis: The Mufima Case Study RevisitedDavid Potts Chapter 14 in Development Planning and Poverty Reduction, 2003, pp 218-230 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The Mufima Case Study was originally developed as a spreadsheet based multistage exercise in project-appraisal techniques covering most aspects of the economic and financial analysis of agro-industrial projects. It was designed to be both realistic in terms of the numbers used and comprehensive in its coverage. It was used a number of times as a practical spreadsheet exercise, but its complexity meant that it took up more class time than could be justified on courses that were not specifically oriented towards agro-industries. A second version was produced in the early 1990s with a different purpose in mind. The project was written up as a mock project document to serve as the basis for a role-playing simulation of the process of assessing such documents from different viewpoints. The intention was that the financial and economic analysis of the project should provide a ‘state of the art’ illustration of what could be done, although the nature of the project allowed plenty of room for students to question the assumptions on which the analysis was based.
