Annotated Glossary of Terms Used in the Economic Analysis of Agricultural Projects
Description:... This bilingual annotated glossary contains the specialized terms most frequently used in agricultural projects analysis, as they are used in J. Prince Gittinger's book Economic Analysis of Agricultural Projects and that book's Spanish translation, Analisis economico de proyectos agricolas. The projects originated with fellow translators who use the separate glossaries in their day-to-day work. The Language Services Unit at the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) initially undertook the task of compiling the bilingual glossaries with the intention of providing a valuable tool for Spanish and English translators. Since then, its usefulness has been recognized for agricultural development specialists, project coordinators, agriculturaleconomists and students who work with the two linguages. To produce the English-Spanish glossary, defined terms appearing in the glossary-index of the English version of the book were transcribed with no changes and matched with the corresponding terms and definitions in the Spanish edition. In asking the Worls Bank, which published Gittinger's book, for permission to reproduce and distribute the glossaries, it was agreed that a joint publication between IICA and the Bank would provide for a broader dissenination of what will be a valuable reference document for persons studying or working in the field of agricultural development.
