Tools and Approaches
- WSS generate substantial benefits for the economy
- Investment needs to generate these benefits are large in both OECD and developing countries
- Tariffs are a preferred funding source, but public budgets and ODA will have a role to play, too
- Markets-based repayable finance is needed to cover high up-front capital investment costs
- Strategic financial planning and other OECD tools can help Governments move forward

Multi-year investment planning tool for municipalities
Long-term capital planning is required to expand and repair water and sanitation infrastructure. The MYIP tool is targeted at municipalities to help them prioritise their investments in the economic and social sectors under their responsibility. To do so, the tool gathers data on historical budget trends, planned expenditures, available resources and cost of debt. Based on investment prioritisation criteria, it then sets priorities for the next 4 to 6 years.
