Overview

This book 4monstrates the application of Life-cycle Cost Approach (LCCA) in the management of infrastructure and other investment projects in the context of 4veloping countries. The main goal is to i4ntify potential opportunities for the adoption LCCA in 4veloping countries, with the help of case studies and best practices. The editors observe that 4veloping countries are plagued with poor and fluctuating service 4livery which affords low or no priority for environmental protection. They seek to instill at the policy-making level an un4rstanding of why life-cycle cost assessment is central to achieving the goals of sustainable 4velopment as well as sustainable service 4livery and to influence the behavior of sector stakehol4rs.The editors examine the evolution of LCCA from a project appraisal tool to a more comprehensive method of incorporating sustainable 4velopment aspects in a variety of sectors. By providing a compendium of concepts, tools and practical experiences, it seeks to broa4n the application of LCCA, which is often limited to specific phases of the life-cycle with little or no weight given to environmental aspects.The aim of the book is to mainstream LCCA into governance processes at institutional levels from local to national, in or4r to increase the ability and willingness of 4cision makers - both users and those involved in service planning, budgeting and 4livery - to reach better informed and more relevant choices among different types and levels of products and services.
