The cost-benefit ratios over  20 years, discounted at the rate of 7% per year are :

 

Drinking water                          05,09

Hygiene                                     13,20

Stoves                                        60,88

Eco-sanitation and mills        494,20      

 

1. Opinion.

 

Provide a one-page opinion on these results..

 

2. Opinion.

 

The drinking water sector has been strongly «penalised » because of the ’attribution to it of  84,34 %  of   the «common costs». On oine page, propose improvements you would bring to the method for the calculation of the  costs and benefits..

 

3. Research.

 

What is the relationship between the result produced for drinking water supply (factor 05,09) and those produced for traditional drinking water supply projects in your chosen area (otherwise, in your country) ? Explain the relationship on one page.

 

4. Research.

 

The «break-even » point in the drinking water sector is reached towards the end of the fifth year of operation, and factor two in the first part of the eighth year. At the end of the tenth year the result is a little less than 3 (2,90). Discuss the acceptability of these figures with operators in the drinking water sector in your project area. Make a one-page report of their conclusions. Bear in mind that integrated development projects are truly sustainable and provide for full  replacement of  capital items at each 20 year cycle.   

 

5. Opinion.

 

The higher the level of   financing of an activity within the framework of the local money systems set up in integrated development projects the more “incredible” their financial results. On one page try to link this fact to the causes of financial leakage analysed in section 1analysis of the causes of poverty  of the first block poverty and the quality of lfe and in basic  concepts  : more detail of  section 3 the financial structures of the fourth block the structures to be created.
