The WASHCost approach leaflet August 2009

The WASHCost programme is a global approach for sustained services including the poor and underserved, for investments that last and go beyond 2015.
Together, governmental agencies of Burkina Faso, Ghana, India and Mozambique, universities, private sector, research institutes and donors, are designing a state of the art approach for cost effective planning of water and sanitation services.

Planning for basic clean water and appropriate sanitation requires detailed cost information, which is still poorly understood. The WASHCost approach reveals “hidden” or “forgotten” costs and enables better planning, collaboration between stakeholders and ultimately better decision making. The approach is flexible and can be applied under a wide variety of conditions.
