The availability of finance mechanisms for the implementation of WASH service delivery approaches (SDA) differs for each approach. None of these finance mechanism suits all of SDAs. Their availability, however, can be considered an enabling factor for the implementation of the SDA itself.
In the 2006 “Landscaping of Approaches to Support Service Provision of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene” prepared for [[Cranfield University]], [[AguaConsult]] and the [[IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre]] for the [[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation]], finance mechanisms (or finance approaches) were considered enabling factors for the SDA, being the others "demand stimulation" and "support to systems". <ref>

Tariff structures and costing need better incentives, strategies and support to enhance efficiency (benchmarking, water metering etc.). Poor need differential (social) tariffs. In rural Gujarat 25 water user committees have successfully started to set-up O&M funds.
This could be the most suitable financial model for service delivery, which could even have a higher impact if also repairs and replacement were accounted and financed.
