No 2022-12, Development Discussion Papers from JDI Executive Programs

Abstract: Public resources are finite and, as such, should be employed efficiently. There is an opportunity cost in the use of resources in one project over another. Hence, there is a need to ensure that resources are put to their best use, given that the same resources can be allocated to alternative uses. The Water Supply Projects Appraisal Manual (WSPAM) serves to scrutinize proposed water supply projects to ensure that public expenditure in the development of water supply infrastructure in Zimbabwe leads to the achievement of development objectives and socio-economic growth. The WSPAM provides guidance on the methodology and best practices employed in the development and appraisal of water supply projects.
