Abstract/Description
Information on willingness to pay for improved sanitation facilities can be useful for designers and planners when assessing the economic viability of projects, setting affordable tariffs, evaluating policy alternatives, assessing financial sustainability, and designing socially equitable subsidies. Our study in Vietnam reveals that people are willing to pay USD 800 to have a combined bathroom and toilet to improve their sanitation facility.
