Sample Project Screening Tool

The document evaluates three projects: Uhuru Terminal, Market/Shopping Centre, and Agro Processing, using a scoring system based on various criteria such as project size, compliance with laws, economic appraisal, strategic issues, land availability, risk considerations, and local government capacity. Each project is assessed for its potential to generate revenue, secure financing, and meet social needs, with weighted scores calculated for decision-making. The total weighted scores for the projects are 65, 74, and 78 respectively, guiding the selection of the most viable project.
