Costs of poor sanitation included in the study
• Mortality
• Healthcare
• Access
• Productivity
![Page 4: Results of ESI Phase 1 in Africa](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082915/547c1920b4af9fce158b5022/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How these costs were derived
• Desk study
• Estimation

Example:
Burkina Faso loses US$ 136 million each year due to mortality
Mortality costs are the largest national cost of poor sanitation

Example:
Ghana spends US$ 54 million on health care each year
Healthcare costs resulting from poor sanitation are a heavy burden

Example:
Niger loses US$ 23 million each year in access time
Finding a private location to defecate leads to economic loses which affect women most

Example:
Kenya loses US$ 2.7 million each year in productivity
Incapacity due to sickness and time accessing healthcare result in lost productivity

Example:
In Rwanda OD costs US$ 2 more per open defecator than either unimproved or shared latrines
Costs associated with open defecation are greater than fixed point sanitation

Example:
In Nigeria average cost of poor sanitation is almost 10% of average salary for the poorest.

Other potentially significant costs
Epidemics: Annual additional cost of responding to cholera in Mozambique is est. US$ 5.1 million.
Funerals: Sanitation-related funerals costs in Burkina Faso is est. US$ 1.5 million per year
Water pollution: Poor sanitation affects drinking water sources increasing costs of treatment and supply

Other potentially significant costs
Tourism: Based on existing travel and tourism contribution to GDP, by addressing poor sanitation in Ghana could gain est. US$ 8.5 milion each year.
Cognitive development: Long term economic losses: early childhood diarrhoea under nutrition reduced cognitive development. STH infection impaired cognitive development.
Excreta re-use: Could bring potential economic benefit.

Conclusions
• Public financing of sanitation is a good investment and should be increased
• Public sector investment in sanitation is an important tool in poverty alleviation
• Public sector financing of sanitation strengthens other areas of the economy
