Description :
The contingent valuation method relies on direct elicitation of consumer preferences and willingness to pay. The paper describes an application of the method to facilitate demand-driven planning for provision of improved sanitation in Ouagadougou. The results suggest that demand information about unfamiliar technologies can be successfully obtained and can serve as a useful input in the design of public services.
