The project is financially viable with a net present value (NPV) of Birr 11.31 million
and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 15.11 percent.
Ensure that school readiness program is free, compulsory and part of the
general education;
Consider two years O-class program(4+ and 5+) as midterm strategy, that is,
by stretching the preschool program a bit from one year to two years
accommodating four and five years cohort groups, and the alternative brief
programs (child to child and accelerated learning readiness) as short term
strategy for marginalized and disadvantaged children;
Extend the duration of the school readiness program step by step from 3
years of age as a long term strategy so that children of age 3,4 and 5 will
enjoy age appropriate developmental programs;
The government actively encourages both domestic and foreign participation in the
economy, through a plethora of investment incentives, which include:
100% exemption from the payment of import duties and other taxes levied on
imports of capital goods, equipment and spare part up to 15% of the value of
capital invested;
Exemption from the payment of import duties levied on the import of raw
material for production of export- orientated goods;
Income tax exemption for periods ranging from three to eight years; this is a
function of where the investment is located and also the priority accorded to
that particular good;
All research and development expenses are tax deductible; and
Remittance from the proceeds of the sale or transfer of shares or assets upon
liquidation of enterprises to domestic investors is exempted from the payment
of any tax.
1.7. INFRASTRUCTURE
The project area is the direct beneficiary of some infrastructure like road and some
distance from other like electric power, telephone, and health center with some
distance. As the project aim to improve these infrastructures in the near future,
local community and other organization will benefit.
Road coverage, gravel road 10 km from main road, Electric power coverage, full
The soil type is dominated by clay loam soil (32%), silt loam soil (40%), loam soil
(15) and clay soil (13%) rolling and undulating land features as well as hills and
mountain side slopes, having some organic matter. These soils are known to be
generally low in available nitrogen and phosphorous as evidenced by their
responses to several fertilizer experiments.
The area is rich with ground water resource that can be used for irrigation and
drinking surrounding the farm. There is also one seasonal river that flash flood
during rainy seasons. The project area has access to both ground which is the
major source of water that may cost on an average 50 meter depth, costs 4000
birr per meter and total depth costs 200,000 birr including pipe distribution and
Drainage River which is cross the project area is easy access to store enough
harvest and store water.
Generally, the town and particularly the Keble have high potential compared with
the surrounding area. With some management action in the near future, the area
has a potential of integrated production system of; animal (fatting, dairy,
breeding), crop and tree species. The area also has good potential for agro-
processing, lowland and highland fruits, vegetables, and cereal, oil crop
indicating that different institution had interested to invest in the sectors mostly
in Agro-processing, Agro-forestry, which could create symbiotic relation among
The earliest years of life are pivotal in forming the foundations for healthy
development and providing children and their societies the opportunity to reach
their full potential. The earliest years of life considered as the period of rapid
development in the human beings and the periods from conception through age
six as a very critical to the complete growth of children’s health, cognitive,
psychomotor, personality and social development of children.
A research conducted by the United Nations Children’s Fund on children
development revealed that early childhood interventions have lasting effects on
their intellectual capacity, personality and social behavior. Additionally, other
research studies demonstrated that the earliest years of a child’s life represent a
crucial period of biological, neurological, psychological, social and emotional
growth and change. This realization has generated immense interest and creative
thinking in the field of development and education. Thus, children need
worthwhile skills and experience to become competent and responsible
citizens that benefit themselves, their parents and the country at large. This
Current education service providers in the town which intended to establish the
school is a few and not satisfy the demand of education of the surrounding
community as reported recently. As it can be seen from the Table 3.1 the private
sector is the dominant sector in the ownership of kindergarten schools owning and
operating 31.8% of the number of education facilities at kindergarten level. The role
of the government is extremely limited owning only 1.6% of the school facilities. The
basic reasons the private sector is dominating in KG are that, The government’s
policy that focuses on providing basic education to all and accordingly the
government is not investing in KG, Traditionally in the City and in the country as a
whole KG is the domain of the private sector, and Compared with primary and
secondary schools, investment required in KG is small, which attracts the private
investors with weak financial capacity.

As can be seen from the above Table as of 2004/2005 the supply gap of education
facility at primary level is 1,087 sections, and at kindergarten level 6220 sections.
Accordingly, assuming that there are no additional schools constructed since
2004/2005 and demand for primary and pre-school school grows at annual
average growth rate 2.9% which is equivalent to the growth rate of population, the
present (2008) supply gap of education facility at primary level is 1,087sections,
and at kindergarten level 6220 sections.

Based on the projected profit and loss statement, the project will generate a profit
throughout its operation life. Annual net profit after tax will grow from Birr 1.2 mil
to Birr 5.2 million during the life of the project. Moreover, at the end of the project
life the accumulated cash flow amounts to Birr 16.70 million.
7.3.2. RATIOS
In financial analysis financial ratios and efficiency ratios are used as an index or
yardstick for evaluating the financial position of a firm. It is also an indicator for
the strength and weakness of the firm or a project. Using the year-end balance
sheet figures and other relevant data, the most important ratios such as return on
sales which is computed by dividing net income by revenue, return on assets
(Operating income divided by assets), return on equity (net profit divided by equity)
and return on total investment (net profit plus interest divided by total investment)
The internal rate of return (IRR) is the annualized effective compounded return rate
that can be earned on the invested capital, i.e., the yield on the investment. Put
another way, the internal rate of return for an investment is the discount rate that
makes the net present value of the investment's income stream total to zero. It is an
indicator of the efficiency or quality of an investment. A project is a good investment
proposition if its IRR is greater than the rate of return that could be earned by
alternate investments or putting the money in a bank account. Accordingly, the IRR
of this project is computed to be 24.65 % indicating the viability of the project.
