Maintaining service levels over time and avoiding working according to an ad-hoc system is possible by using the life-cycle cost approach in the planning of WASH services.
WASHCost has worked with countries to identify the long-term costs of sustaining rural and peri-urban water, sanitation and hygiene services and it has managed to embed the concept of life-cycle costing with donors, national and local governments and NGOs. So that services continue to meet national standards reliably...for generations.
