Abstract

INTRODUCTIONMunicipal services in developing countries are not usually regarded to be of a commercial nature. This has been traditionally the approach in small towns of Sindh. Nevertheless this financial evaluation of urban services in six Sindh urban areas has been undertaken by employing the technique of financial internal rate of return which is usually applicable to commercial projects. Our aim is to ensure that basic urban service sub-projects should not be financially so weak that even their current operational and maintenance expenses are not covered from the total yield of the various user charges payable by the beneficiaries on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
