Keywords:
Social Net Present Value (SNPV), Social Projects, Efficiency Assessment, Cost-Benefit Analysis, Resource Allocation, Decision-Making, Present Value, Stakeholder EngagementAbstract
This article explores the assessment of efficiency in social projects through the Social Net Present Value (SNPV) methodology. SNPV provides a framework for quantifying the social benefits and costs associated with projects, allowing decision-makers to evaluate their overall value to society. The approach involves calculating the net present value of social benefits minus costs, offering insights into the+ economic viability of initiatives aimed at enhancing community well-being. By utilizing a structured table and visual diagram, the assessment process is clarified, emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making in resource allocation for social projects.
