In order to evaluate the merit of the project, the UNCT needs to conduct a CBA for review by the TTCP. For this purpose, the TTCP has developed a standardized CBA format. A CBA User Manual has been developed to ensure the proper order of steps to be followed in this exercise. Please read the CBA User Manual before entering any data into the CBA. One-time capital investment costs may include: renovation/construction, moving, and security. Security-related items must listed separately as these may be funded from different sources. As benefits of the new premises situation often entail non-quantifiable merits that cannot be readily added to a costing matrix, the UNCT may also submit additional pertinent information in a narrative format (e.g. improved office environment, enhanced inter-Agency collaboration, One UN image, opportunity for enhanced/new Common Services, etc.). The final spreadsheet allows for assigning weights to various criteria, such as location, safety & security, costs, etc., which were selected to identify suitable real estate options (i.e. Phase 1 Step 2b and 2c). This matrix is designed to assist the UNCT in the final assessment in order to make an informed decision. |
