Economic Costs of Inadequate Water and Sanitation: South Tarawa, Kiribati
Asian Development Bank (adb)
No RPT146428-2, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)
Abstract:
The inadequate water supply and sanitation situation in South Tarawa has contributed to high rates of water-borne diseases and environmental degradation in the country’s main urban center. There has been limited capital investment in water supply and sanitation infrastructure and ongoing operations and maintenance in South Tarawa, in part, as a result of low cost recovery in service delivery. To enable more informed policy responses to address the current situation, this study seeks to estimate the total economic costs associated with inadequate water and sanitation services in South Tarawa.
