Economic valuation of waste and water investments i Foreword All projects funded by the EIB need to be justified in economic, financial, technical and environmental terms. The Bank's Projects Directorate uses appraisal methods that reflect these various concerns. At the same time, we are aware of the rapid strides being taken in the development of environmental appraisal, and in particular the economic valuation of environmental impacts. The general principles and methods of environmental valuation are now widely known and a large body of empirical evidence is being assembled. The current report is intended to make this academic and research literature more accessible for operational appraisal purposes. The report focuses on the water, wastewater and solid waste sectors, and forms part of a larger programme of work being done in sectors of interest to the Bank, also including energy and transport. The whole programme aims to give project staff the analytical tools and data necessary to reflect as fully and accurately as possible the environmental impact of projects funded by the Bank. The Bank has sponsored this work, but the authors and their institutions remain ultimately responsible for all matters of fact, analysis and judgement presented in the report. Economic valuation of waste and water investments iii Acknowledgements During the preparation of this report, we received crucial support of a number of people. First, the commissioning staff of EIB, consisting of Jim Winpenny, Peter Carter and Luigi Genazzini were very supportive in providing feedback and important information about EIB projects. We would also like to thank the following for making their valuable experience on project appraisal and their views on monetary valuation available to us: the staff of the Infrastructure II department of the EIB, a number of officials of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank (WB), Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), Asian Development Bank (ADB) and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Finally, we would like to thank Harmen Verbruggen (deputy director of IVM) for the effective reviewship he fulfilled.
