The Finance Portal gives an overview of the costs of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) service delivery, the financing sources to recover the costs, and tools and systems to monitor the financing of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) service delivery in developing countries.

The information in this portal is structured around 3 main questions:

1. What costs do I need to finance? - see Costs of WASH Service Delivery;
2. How can I finance my costs? - see Financing Sources;
3. How can I monitor financing? - see Monitoring Finance.
