How it works

Evaluate investment, operation, maintenance, risks, profits and cost sharing over time.

It places people, communities and other living beings in the center, caring for health, safety, dignity, culture, accessibility and quality of experience.

When does it make sense?

  • Since the definition of objectives and with participation of those who will be affected
  • Where benefits, burdens and possible exclusions can be identified
  • With qualitative and quantitative indicators provided and respectful of privacy

How to apply it
