1) The document discusses the application of life cycle costing (LCCA) in rural water and sanitation projects in Mozambique. It describes the country context and challenges with WASH services.
2) A learning alliance was formed to collect cost data through sampling different project types, including rural water supply, small town systems, sanitation, and peri-urban areas.
3) The LCCA was used to analyze capital expenditure, capital maintenance expenditure, direct support costs, and cost of capital. This provided transparency and identified opportunities to reduce costs and improve planning.

• Redefine LA to country context – GAS group
• LA does not validate, only advices
• Don´t ask others to do your work....
• Great exposure but don´t overload – work
with in much smaller groups 2-5 people

Actual Policy Actions:
• A transparency & accountability tool
• Cycles of yearly updated values for budgeting

• Influence of donors, procurement (lot Size)
• Trends over time – better budgetting

- How is it different from O&M?

quantity, age and type of infrastructure)

Expenditure on Direct Support
Currently there is a wide variance
District size (thus distance) influences per person costs. A three times larger district
has roughly double the costs.

27. The use of LCCA in Mozambique
Expenditure on Direct Support
Actual Policy actions:
The average cost is US$ 1.1 per person per year, and
the median is US$ 0.6. Average 100,000 USD per
district
Desired actions:
Direct support should be based on combination of
coverage, population density and access

Financing large water and sanitation programs with
long term loans

grace. 0.75% interest

4. Cost of Capital
Policy actions:
- Awareness raising of burden of loans
- Making cost of capital integrated in particular in small
town systems.
- Realistic allowable return on equity (for private operators)

36. Discussing items
• It is great to understand the current
cost but going to “ideal” costs needs
alternative (ways of) financing:
– Thinking next to your project cycle
– “selling” Sustainability packages?
