The document discusses an economic analysis of a proposed health project in Cambodia. It begins by defining economic analysis and outlining the key steps: defining objectives and alternatives, forecasting demand, choosing the least-cost option, conducting benefit-cost analysis, assessing sustainability, and distributional effects. It then provides details of applying these steps to the Cambodia health project, finding that contracting out services was the most cost-effective approach and would improve access to healthcare for millions of Cambodians, especially the poor and rural populations, in a financially sustainable manner.
