- There is a big difference between costs &benefits analysis vs only costs analysis. It is important to look at benefits also. There is a key message to include impacts/ benefits also. Do not just look at costs.
- Linking costs and incomes is an important methodological requirement. This data helps the governments to take decisions on costs of inputs and link them with incomes.
- Considerable investments by households are much higher. Investments (by state/ promoter) on promotion of hygiene could trigger more investments from households.
- Costs are pushed to lower levels to make them afford them, as the governments are not able to subsidize them. Is this sustainable?
- Annualized costs are help in choosing the right options.
