British aid policy calls for a large proportion of the programme to go to the poorest people in the poorest countries. This case study illustrates ways in which project selection and appraisal can aid this aim for projects whose output is non-tradeable and non-marketed but which may often be important to a poverty-focused programme. It attempts to demonstrate a framework by which such projects can consistently be examined paying particular attention to their objectives, the nature of their beneficiaries, and the recurrent budgetary implications for the host Government.
