About WASHCost
Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services are central to addressing poverty, economic development, livelihoods and health. They are critical in meeting the needs of poor communities and in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Lack of accurate information, especially on and in rural and peri-urban areas in the developing world makes it impossible to estimate the true cost of extending sustainable and good quality water and sanitation services to the poor.
WASHCost aims to address this gap. The five-year WASHCost project (2008-2012) will collect and collate information relating to the real disaggregated costs in the life-cycle of water, sanitation, and hygiene service delivery to poor people in rural and peri-urban areas around the world.
Brochures, flyers, etc.
Understand key concepts such as life-cycle costing, and water and sanitation service ladder indicators using brief documents that can be shared with community members and other stakeholders.
