Content - Summary
The specific goal of the present ‘Sanitation Impact’ study is to provide decision makers at country and regional level with better evidence on the negative economic impacts of poor sanitation, and to provide tentative estimates of those negative impacts that can be mitigated by investing in improved sanitation. The target audience is primarily national level policy makers with infl uence the overall allocation of resources to sanitation, including central ministries (budgeting, economics, fi nance), line ministries (infrastructure, sanitation, water, rural development, urban planning) and external funding and technical partners (multilateral, bilateral and non-government agencies). The study is also targeted at sub-national decision making levels where results and conclusions of this study are also relevant. The study results disaggregate impacts by provincial groupings for each country, as well as providing a rural-urban breakdown. However, to inform local decisions, further studies are needed that disaggregate at provincial, city, and district levels, and below.
