The [http://www.washcost.info/ life cycle cost approach] can be used to monitor levels of service received by users and the [[Costs_of_WASH_Service_Delivery_-_Introduction|costs]] required to deliver these services (Fonseca et.al, 2011). Costs are compared and assessed in relation to the level of service received by users. Services are ranked in a ''ladder'', from no service to high or improved service, based on different criteria. Each step up the service delivery ladder requires a different combination of infrastructure, management systems and human resources.

The life cycle cost approach has been developed by [http://www.washcost.info/ WASHCost]. WASHCost was led by IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, running from 2008 to 2012, in rural and peri-urban areas of Burkina Faso, Ghana, India, and Mozambique.
