Sanitation
The cost of rural VIP latrines range (inter-quartile) from US $ 64 –US $ 118 (median US $106). The lump sum capital expenditure for rural VIPs may not be affordable to the poorest in the rural areas.
The operational and minor maintenance expenditure (OpEx) on latrines is between 3-4 US$ per capita per year .
The OpEx on latrines for about five years is greater than the cost of constructing the latrines.

Key findings on Water
Rural water supply with boreholes fitted with hand pumps cost US$ 40 to build the facility and an annual recurrent cost of US$ 1 per person to deliver basic water service.
A small towns system with a combination of house connections and standpipes cost US$ 80 to build the facility and an annual
recurrent cost of US$ 6 per person to deliver basic water service.

Key findings on Water
Inadequate expenditure on direct support cost (0.5 US $ per person) contributing to significant levels of non functional systems
Low expenditure and Lack of financing mechanism for addressing capital maintenance needs in the sector.
