B.
The Value for Money framework (Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness)
C.
Net Present Value (NPV) maximization of all donor contributions
D.

How to approach this question
Recall the primary objectives of Not-For-Profit (NFP) organizations. Since they lack shareholders, they focus on maximizing the impact of their funds using the Value for Money (3 Es) framework.
Full Answer
B.The Value for Money framework (Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness)✓ Correct
Not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) such as NGOs do not have shareholders and therefore do not aim to maximize shareholder wealth. Instead, their performance is typically assessed using the Value for Money framework, which comprises Economy (spending less), Efficiency (spending well), and Effectiveness (spending wisely to achieve outcomes).
Common mistakes
Students often select NPV, forgetting that while NFPs appraise projects, their overarching performance framework is Value for Money.
