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

Water Utility Performance Indicators (IBNET)
One way to increase the volume of investment towards sustainable water and sanitation infrastructures is to produce clear and accurate data that allows assessing and comparing performance across utilities. IBNET is a benchmarking tool developed by the World Bank and supported by a number of donors (including DFID and WSP) that promotes international benchmarking of water utilities and provides guidance on data collection and monitoring.
