  1. Workshop: multiple-use services – cost and benefits Summary of day 1

  2. Objectives • Conceptualization of MUS • Implications for CBA • Evidence base • Opportunity areas • Way forward

  3. Expectations (from policy perspectives) • Interest in increasing sustainability of services through improved ability and willingness to pay • Need for evidence: • MUS practices • Livelihoods impacts • Sustainability of service • Contextualizing MUS and evidence at country level • Multi-stakeholder approach

  4. Report back from expert meeting • Conceptualizing MUS services • MUS is demand-centric • Service-oriented • Service attributes and service levels • Applicable at different levels of scales (fractals) : • Increase the pipe (domestic-plus) • Have many pipes (community-based) • Overflowing irrigation canals (irrigation-plus)

  5. Report back from expert meeting • Implications for cost-benefit analyses: • Costs • Overview of cost categories • Linked to service levels • Emphasis on incremental costs and opportunity costs • Benefits • Overview of benefit categories • Linked to service levels • Break-down of benefits between user categories • Methodologies • Not only cost-benefit but also cost-effectiveness analysis • Beyond CBA indicators, also other (proxy) indicators

  6. Case studies • Nigeria • Honduras • South Africa • Ethiopia • Burkina Faso

  7. Lessons from case studies • CBA Methodologies • Standardised approaches and indicators needed • Break-down by user categories • Mostly financial analysis, not full economic or opportunity costs

  8. Lessons from case studies • Evidence base • Case evidence on positive cost-benefit relations, despite questions on reliability of data • Not necessarily translated into higher payment for services (ability, willingness and actual payment) • Non-monetary benefits • Attribution • Use of evidence • Identifying pathways for climbing (or jumping) the ladder • Creating interest and getting stakeholder dialogues started
