Abstract

This paper reviews the existing research work on the application of Life-cycle cost approach (LCCA) with an objective to identify potential aspects for its adoption in the developing countries. It seeks to influence the policy understanding of why life-cycle cost assessment is central to achieving the goals of sustainable development as well as sustainable service delivery and to influence the behaviour of sector stakeholders. The idea is to mainstream LCCA into governance processes at all institutional levels from local to national in order to increase the ability and willingness of decision makers (both users and those involved in service planning, budgeting and delivery) to make informed and relevant choices between different types and levels of products and services. It is argued that a comprehensive LCCA can provide 'win-win' strategies in terms of identifying appropriate technologies, products and services that are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. LCCA prompts policy shifts towards a systems perspective. Adoption of LCCA evolves from life-cycle thinking that needs to be ingrained into the macro policy. This calls for awareness building and capacities at the policy and planning levels.

Slippage is used in the case of water, sanitation and hygiene services (WASH). WASH slippage is defined as the occurrence of a certain level of WASH services that has fallen back in a defined period of time to a lower level of services.

In the case of private-public partnership projects, if the private parties do not include the capital maintenance costs, their total costs would be lower. But when these poorly maintained projects are handed over to the public or the community, the risk of failure becomes high as the adverse impacts of poor or no capital maintenance are realized after a time lag. In this way, the risk of service failure is transferred to the public sector or to the communities, while the private party saves on capital maintenance.
