Cost Analysis

It may be wise to conduct a cost analysis beore, during and after implementation of a new program, project or initiative to gain a better understanding of the total costs associated with program implementation. The Children's Bureau provides short resource videos describing what a cost analysis is and why it is important. The videos provide useful concepts associated with cost analysis, budgeting and accounting. The video Cost Analysis in Program Evaluation (Part 1) and (Part 2) is available on the Children's Bureau's YouTube Channel.
