  1. EAP Task Force FEASIBLE tool: prospects for further developments Alexander Martoussevitch Paris, 23 February, 2007

  2. Outline of the presentation • Objective of the presentation • FEASIBLE in progress • Ways forward EAP Task Force

  3. Objective of the presentation • Update you about the latest developments of FEASIBLE tool • Present the remaining difficulties with the tool with regards to: • Data requirements • Functionalities • Dissemination • Discuss ways forward EAP Task Force

  4. FEASIBLE in progress:Why a decision-support tool • Provide robust calculations to support policy dialogue • Organise data collection and treatment • Simulate alternative scenarios for sectoral policies • Targets • Time frames • Tariffs and subsidies, loans and grants • «what-if» simulations quick and easy EAP Task Force

  5. FEASIBLE in progress:Key aspects of the tool • A tool: the FEASIBLE model, to • Assess the costs of alternative scenarios on the level of service • Measure available financial resources • Calculate a financial gap • Simulate the impact of various policy packages to close the financial gap • The model • uses generic cost functions, adjusted for local conditions and prices • uses aggregated figures for territory under consideration, i.e. regional or national, but not local • calculates cash flow gap as key output EAP Task Force

  6. FEASIBLE in progress:Recent developments • 2000: FEASIBLE-1 • EXCEL-based • Urban WSS • Financing • 2002: Stand alone Module on MW • ACCESS-based • 2004: FEASIBLE-2 • Delphi-based • Integrate Modules on MW and WSS • 2006: new Module on Rural WSS • is being pilot tested in Armenia and Moldova, in co-operation with the EUWI EAP Task Force

  7. FEASIBLE in progress:Current structure of the tool

  8. Ways forward:Adaptation of the tool • FEASIBLE • better ensure integrity of data • Refine the finance module (the module presents aggregated data, assuming cross-subsidisation between service providers) • generate additional output charts • improve scenario management (e.g. capacity to model non-regular water supply) • consider integrating marginal cost functions • Documentation • the User manual (three years old) • the Guidelines on methodology • alternative methods to collect datain rural areas EAP Task Force

  9. Ways forward:Further dissemination • Working with consultancies: • COWI AS (Denmark, developer), JACOBS (UK), TME (Netherlands), the Institute for Urban Economics (Russia), other candidates (PWC, etc.) • Requests for the tool from 66 individuals • Working in other regions may require adaptation of the tool to the local context • Comparison with similar tools • e.g. SWIFT for WSS • Lower the “entry barrier” • Still remains relatively high: require 1-2 day training + a hotline EAP Task Force
