ABSTRACT
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) provides partners with information for allocating limited budget resources. Challenges in conducting CEAs include collecting data across multiple sources, introducing cost ssumptions, and delivering the results to partners. This paper introduces strategies to address these challenges using the example of the Strengthening Accountability to Reach All Students (STARS) project, a government-implemented differentiated instruction project in Ghana. To implement the programme for one school year, including opportunity costs related to training, the differentiated instruction plus basic management arm cost $48 per child, while the differentiated instruction plus basic and enhanced management training arm cost $84 per child.

在与加纳政府合作伙伴的多组研究中促进实时成本收集和评估成本效益
摘要
成本效益分析 (CEA) 为合作伙伴提供了分配有限预算资源的信息。执行 CEA 的挑战包括跨多个来源收集数据、引入成本假设以及将结果交付给合作伙伴。本文以加强问责制覆盖所有学生 (STARS) 项目为例介绍了应对这些挑战的策略,该项目是加纳政府实施的差异化教学项目。要实施一个学年的计划,包括与培训相关的机会成本,差异化教学加上基本管理培训的费用为每位儿童 48 美元,而差异化教学加上基本和强化管理培训的费用为每位儿童 84 美元。
