Overview of the project Proposals Project Proposal 1: Zajut Forest Reserve This is a replanting/reforestation project in Zajut Forest Reserve - a degraded forest due to unsustainable logging practices and 2 sets of droughts induced fires in the past. Zajut was discovered to house a high density of orangutan population. In attempt to save these orangutans from extinction, the replanting project aims to ensure long-term forest management and care to ensure that each tree planted grows successfully against threat of weeds, grass, creepers and climbers. The initial site clearance of the project site will, however utilise technologies that is high in energy consumption. Furthermore, the Zajut site remains a place of high conflict tension and initial assessment of the project reveals a high possibility of conflict within the communities due to the proposed solutions. The project is expected to deliver the below investment costs and benefits, delivered within 175M budget.

Any infringements of this rule should be reported to Bradford University Registry Project Proposal 2: Natural Wastewater Treatment- Babam The project consists of a replicable, low-cost and high-efficiency solution suitable for small settlements, to address localized pollution related pressures and minimize subsequent effects to the biodiversity and human health in rural areas of the Babam. The project will support the supply of fresh water for domestic use. The use of Constructed Wetlands will be utilised being a nature-based solution that presents a number of advantages. It has low construction, operation and maintenance costs, it is efficient and is easy to operate. As such, it is likely that other rural settlements in the area might be interested in applying it. Stakeholders were consulted and updated on the proposed construction's technical details throughout the process, in order to ensure a high level of ownership by those who would be directly affected by this project. The infrastructure consists of: . A screening chamber where pre-treatment of wastewater takes place. A septic tank called Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR) whereby nutrients and BOD5 are reduced up to 90% It is expected that the project will align with the UN SGDs by alleviating poverty, engendering peaceful co- habitation with the communities, enhancing the health of the community and promoting nature-based solutions to water treatment. The project's expected investment costs and benefits are shown below with $75M budget.

The project will deliver a green energy efficient solar powered dam with smart radar sensors to perceive the environmental condition and initiate the irrigation process autonomously. The pre-feasibility investigation of the site suggest that the project construction will utilise a lot of energy and affect the ground stability of the sounding area. This method has the potential of affecting the stability of buildings and other infrastructures close to the site. The irrigation systems will also be equipped with smart connectivity features and is very compatible to the existing farm equipment, hence delivering conflict sensitive outcomes. The project's expected achieve the below investment costs and benefits with $200M budget.

The task is to present a business case beginning with ranking each proposed project according to the strategic objectives of USAID. and to select a project to be commissioned using the project selection tool in below. You MUST show your calculations and utilise analytical tools (such as Excel) to conduct your analysis. You can then present the output of your analysis in your business case under this section. Your analysis must consider the Payback Period and NPV of the projects and the qualitative 'must' and 'want' objectives of USAID. You MUST also engage with literature to demonstrate that you understand the analytical tools used (30%).
