The course is intended to
develop participants understanding of theoretical concepts and techniques of
research in a systemic manner. As an applied and methodological course, it aims
at enriching basic analytical and conceptual skills of students to ensure that
they can design, implement and interpret results of research in their various
fields. After successful completion,
students should be in the position to apply their acquired knowledge in
research and project proposal writing, design research instruments, identify
appropriate statistical and econometric tools for given research objectives and
design; and to carry out their thesis works.

Overview : The logic of economic
development and growth especially in developing economies like Ghana dwells on
effective implementation of appropriate programmes and projects in Agriculture and other vital sectors of the nation as a whole. Public investment typically
occurs through the selection, design and implementation of specific projects to
achieve the goals of government policy. Why are some project proposals accepted
and others rejected? How are questions of environmental impact, welfare
distribution and risk taken into account? How are competing investment programmes ranked? These and others are covered under
this course.
