After three consecutive years implementation of the project, the financial and economic NPV at 12% discount rate were 625.04 and 910.20 and at 25% discount rate were 100.39 and 235.53 respectively. The corresponding BCR were 2.21 and 2.77. The project's financial and economic IRR were 27.49% and 29.54% respectively.
