National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements.
I was fascinated by the measure of the returns which the ESRI calculated. The report states that GNP was 7% higher in 2002 than it would otherwise have been and that the overall return is around 14%. I am not sure how the ESRI arrived at those numbers, since the methodology is not that clear in the report, but they are persuasive. The figures should be highlighted and it is important that expenditure is maintained and projects are delivered in good time.
