Focus on life-cycle costs
In 2012, in Honduras a group of stakeholders consisting of FHIS, COSUDE, CRS, CONASA and IRC came together to work on life-cycle costs. A first seminar was on the subject was organised in May 2012 by CONASA, FHIS and IRC and looked at how a better understanding on life-cycle costs can help in defining criteria for efficiency and effectivity of intervention models. Currently a first study is being conducted making a systematisation of life-cycle costs of different models of intervention for the provision of water and sanitation in Honduras.
Presentation of the first results of the study on life-cycle costs in Honduras
This presentation, prepared by Andres Gil, IRC's documentalist based in Honduras, shares the first results of the study on life-cycle costs in Honduras that was aimed to support the harmonization of different intervention models for WASH in Honduras.
Life-cycle costs study methodology Honduras
This draft document contains the methodology which was drawn up before conducting the study on life-cycle costs in Honduras which aims to support the harmonization of different intervention models for WASH in Honduras.
The study has been carried out upon the request of FHIS and is a follow up to the Seminar on standardising intervention models that was organised by IRC together with FHIS and CONASA in May 2012.

Working on life-cycle costs in Honduras
In May 2012, IRC, FHIS and CONASA organised a seminar on harmonization of different intervention models for WASH, with specific emphasis on the use of costing data in that. It was agreed that a costing study would be done, using the Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) of various intervention models in FHIS and other sector agencies.

Seminar on standardising intervention models
IRC, CONASA and FHIS are supporting a process towards standardisation of intervention models in the water and sanitation sector in Honduras. Key to this is an understanding of life-cycle costs, as based on these, criteria for efficiency and effectivity of intervention models can be defined. To start-off this process, a seminar was organised on 3 May 2012. In this folder, you will be able to find all presentations (in Spanish), as well as the report of the seminar.
