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.

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.
