SOLUTIONS
Sanitation System
Assessment
Generate visually powerful baseline
We help service authorities, regulators, ministries, and development actors unpack and visualize sanitation service systems. This includes collating, analyzing and presenting data on questions such as who has access to safe services, at what price, who provides the service and at what cost dis-aggregated by low - income and non-low income households.
Tariff Reviews
Assess tariff impacts on viability and equity
The tool helps analyze and depict how tariff shifts affect the overall viability of the service system, with special emphasis on its impact on price and service coverage for low-income households. Users can play with a range of tariff structures and revenue models – for example, flat vs volumetric, direct and indirect, fixed and variable.
Subsidy Design
Analyze subsidy flows and impact on equity
EquiServe helps users estimate viability gaps and explore and simulate how the subsidy impacts the overall service system. The tool has the capacity to work with a range of subsidy models – For ex, direct households subsidies/support, in-kind or monetary support to the private sector and aid/grants to public service authorities.
Strategic Service Plans
Scenario modelling and impact simulation
The tool is designed to assist users in developing and simulating the impact that different service model approaches have on equity, safety and viability of the service system. The tool is designed to help users quickly replicate or build new scenarios and helps users play with a range of infrastructure & policy/regulatory inputs, revenue models and financing structures.
Investment Audits
Assess impact and track plan vs actuals
Do you have an ongoing investment or are you planning a new investment in sanitation? The tool can help you review the key assumptions on service coverage, revenue model, life cycle costs estimate and financing approaches and flag key risks in terms of equity, viability and water availability to support the investment.
Data System Reviews
Assess utility data workflows and digital processes
We help users creatively combine publicly available data sets with utility/user data to generate analytical outputs- This process of reviewing the nature and quality of utility data workflows helps illuminate gaps in the data workflow and serves as a guide to the help strengthen underlying data systems
EquiServe in Action
The tool helps shape investments and strengthen city systems to advance equity in sanitation services
