Book Description
An important obstacle to achieving environmental goals has been the failure to adequately address associated financial issues, such as minimising the costs involved and matching costs with available resources. This publication presents a method for implementing financing strategies for investment-heavy environmental infrastructure projects, such as urban water supplies or wastewater collection and treatment. These strategies, supported by the FEASIBLE computer model, were developed in several countries of eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA), in EU accession countries and China.

Book Description
Investments in water and sanitation are a prerequisite to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular on SDG 6 ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Blended finance can play an important role in strategically investing development finance to mobilise additional commercial finance needed to fill the current investment gaps. Thus far, however, blended finance has not reached scale in the water and sanitation sector. A greater evidence base is needed to better understand the current applications as well as the potential of blended models in the water and sanitation sector. This publication takes a commercial investment perspective and provides insights into three subsectors: (1) water and sanitation utilities, (2) small-scale off-grid sanitation and (3) multi-purpose water infrastructure and landscape-based approaches. The publication draws out recommendations for policy makers and practitioners to apply and scale innovative blended finance approaches where most appropriate.
