1 The Costs and Benefits of Sanitation Services in East Asia Results of the Economics of Sanitation Initiative Guy Hutton, Senior Economist, WSP-EAP Stockholm World Water Week - 6 September 200

2 Emerging evidence from SE Asia compares sanitation cost/benefit Economics of Sanitation Initiative Phase 2 Preliminary results from: Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Yunnan Province (China) main components Field level CBA comparing technologies with sample >5000 HHs National surveys on tourism and business Program approach analysis This presentation focuses on the field studies: Rural and urban sites Range of technologies Monetised benefits (for CBA) and nonmonetised benefits Optimal versus actual program performance Source:Draft results. Economic assessment of sanitation services in Southeast Asia. WSP/World Bank

8 Key messages. Sanitation is a socially profitable investment 2. Economic performance varies between technology options. Non-quantified benefits of sanitation are crucial to consider in decision making 4. There exist differences between optimal and actual economic performance 5. Economic evidence forms a crucial part of decision making

23 Conclusions and recommendations. Sanitation is a socially profitable investment 2. Economic performance varies between technology options. Non-quantified benefits of sanitation are crucial to consider in decision making 4. There are differences between ideal and actual economic performance 5. Economic evidence forms a crucial part of decision making. Increased investments in sanitation are justified 2. Tools should aid local decision makers to select the right technologies. These need to be better understood and incorporated in the investment decision 4. Focus on correct selection, design and implementation of sanitation programs 5. Present economic evidence simply for decision makers; allow proper time and resources to use evidence
