Popis:	Water and Sanitation projects (WASH) play an important role in alleviating water related poverty in developing countries. There are several methodologies that will not only assess the performance of these projects but will also help to better identify the problem and its characteristics, and to improve the efficiency of the investment. The Water Poverty Index is one of them. It is a very useful tool that helps to measure water stress at the household level in a holistic way, and to identify priorities. It is important, however, to complement it with a Cost Benefit Analysis that will take into account the costs of the project. A case study in Northern Colombia illustrates this point.
