Abstract
Development plans with projects are usually designed by developing countries including African countries as a major tool for carrying out their development activities. Yet in their market oriented economies the governments have problems of allocating their scarce resources in the tender process. Thus, an incentive model is formulated for more efficient resource allocation and within this framework; decisions taken could be evaluated based on the outcomes.
Keywords. Resource allocation, Tender process, Incentive compatible, Production technology, development plan, Public goods.
