摘要

在乌干达瓦基索区，获得供水服务仍然是一个严峻的挑战，那里的大多数家庭都要长途跋涉取水，这一过程威胁到他们的健康、生产力和经济福祉。尽管应对这一挑战需要巨大的财政投资，但家庭对在其经营场所获得私人供水服务的重视程度尚不清楚。这项研究使用了243户家庭的数据来确定他们为私人供水服务付费的意愿。该分析应用Heckman模型来检查样本选择偏差，并应用条件估值法（CVM）来估计WTP。平均WTP估计为每20升油桶203.07乌干达格（0.06美元）。还确定了影响WTP的社会经济和人口因素。从长远来看，这些发现可以指导可持续供水和成本回收政策的设计。

Evaluating households’ willingness to pay for private water supply services in Wakiso District, Uganda

Accessing water supply services remains a serious challenge in Wakiso District in Uganda, where most households travel long distances to collect water – a process that threatens their health, productivity and economic wellbeing. Although addressing this challenge requires huge financial investment, the value households attach to accessing private water supply services at their premises is not clear. This study used data from 243 households to determine their willingness to pay (WTP) for private water supply services. The analysis applied the Heckman model to check for sample selection bias, and the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate the WTP. The mean WTP was estimated at UGX 203.07 (USD 0.06) per 20 litre jerry can. Socioeconomic and demographic factors that influence WTP were also determined. These findings could guide the design of policies on sustainable water supply and cost recovery in the long run.
