Proposal Title:

Social Accounting and Data Envelopment Analysis as (NGOs) Efficiency Evaluation Methods: A Comparative Study

Supervisors:

Dr Asad Zaman

Brief Summary of Significance of Research:

Conventionally the desirability and efficiency of development projects or resource allocations are determined in terms of monetary benefits they accrue relative to monetary costs incurred instead of their impact on human life in general. I will try to workout a project evaluation methodology from 'human welfare perspective' with special reference to welfare oriented NGOs, drawing on the method of "Social Accounting" and the concepts of "Amartya Sen Capability Approach to development".
