WASHCost
WASHCost researches the life-cycle costs of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services in rural and peri-urban areas in four countries. The rationale is that WASH governance will improve at all levels, as decision makers and stakeholders analyse the costs of sustainable, equitable and efficient services and put their knowledge to use.
Two publications on life-cycle costs available online now
The first briefing note on life-cycle costs and a working paper on ladders for assessing and costing water service delivery are now available online.
