Finance
This building block is strong when: Clear frameworks and sufficient funds exist and are applied for financing service delivery, including full life-cycle costs and clearly identified sources for each component.
Members are strengthening this building block by:
- Undertaking global studies and developing guidance and tools on life-cycle costing
- Applying a life-cycle costing approach at the service authority level and influencing budget allocations
- Applying a life-cycle costing approach at the service provider level to inform tariff setting and planning
- Facilitating access to financing mechanisms for service providers and customers
