Capital expenditure sanitation service delivery
====Capital expenditure sanitation service delivery====
Based on research from the [[#WASHCost|WASHCost]] project, the minimum Capital Expenditure required to provide a basic level of sanitation service ranges from US$ 7 for a [[Single_Pit|basic pit latrine]] to US$ 36 (2011 prices) for a [[Single_Ventilated_Improved_Pit|Ventilated Pit Latrine (VIP)]] (see figure 4).
'''Figure 4. Total Capital Expenditure per facility for traditional pit latrines, pit latrines pour- flush or septic tank required for a basic level of service'''
The costs as shown in figure 4 (above) are based on the provision of a basic level of sanitation service, as defined by WASHCost, which implies that all the following criteria have been realised by the majority of the population in the service area: At least some members of the household use a latrine with an impermeable slab at the house, in the compound or shared with neighbours. The latrine is clean even if it may require high user eff ort for pit emptying and other long term maintenance. The disposal of sludge is safe and the use of the latrine does not result in problematic environmental impact.
[[#WASHCost|WASHCost]] research indicated that in both Burkina Faso and Mozambique, higher levels of capital expenditure on sanitation services are found in the more densely populated peri-urban areas in comparison with rural areas (see figure 5) (Burr and Fonseca, 2011). A [[Single_Pit|slab latrine]] in Burkina Faso costs over three times as much in peri urban areas than in rural areas. All latrines costed in rural Mozambique are two to three times cheaper than their peri-urban equivalents.
