SYSTEMS ANALYSIS FOR DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS: APPLICABILITY, FEASIBILITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY

Abstract

Systems analysis is more and more regarded as an important aid for improving crucial development decisions. Aid-giving organizations located in modern countries especially seem to be eager both to use systems analysis in making program decisions and to help development countries to use systems analysis for their own decision processes. Evaluation of the potential uses of systems analysis for development decisions involves examination of four distinct issues: criteria for applicability to development decisions of systems analysis in its present and near-future-state-of-the-art; requisites of feasibility of systems analysis; requirements of effectiveness; and conditions of efficiency.
