6.2.2.5 Sensitivity analysis<br />

Based on the different cost contributors identified in chapter 6.2.2.2 and 6.2.2.4, a sensitivity<br />

analysis has been carried out. In order to test the resilience <strong>of</strong> system A (Table 7) and system<br />

B (Table 8) against variations due to growing resource scarcity and variations in economy, the<br />

items fuel price and prices <strong>of</strong> tank trucks/trucks have been increased by 25%. Additionally, it<br />

has been calculated how the systems react if the incentives would be raised by 25% in order<br />

to increase the motivation to collect urine and faeces and attract more people. In order to<br />

show the effect <strong>of</strong> an increased project lifetime it was extended from 5 to 8 years.<br />

Furthermore, since representing logistics systems with high transport intensity, the effect <strong>of</strong> a<br />

supply chain failure due to truck break-downs or accidents has been included in the sensitivity<br />

analysis. For that, it was assumed that a private company would take over the transportation<br />

and charge 53 EUR per trip (cf. chapter 6.1.3.2). As failure frequency three days per month,<br />

with maximum three trips, was estimated to be reasonable. Another factor that is connected to<br />

the transport intensity is the transport distance. In this analysis the distance from the storage<br />

site to the agricultural area has been reduced by 50% 81 . Additionally to system A increasing<br />

nutrient prices were included in the calculations <strong>of</strong> system B, since the production <strong>of</strong> the dried<br />

faeces fertiliser bags involves the utilisation <strong>of</strong> urea. For the purpose <strong>of</strong> comparison the return<br />

on sales was utilised as indicator. In the following the effects <strong>of</strong> the modifications are shown.<br />

81 The distance <strong>of</strong> 50 km as used in the calculations <strong>of</strong> system A and B represents an average value that was set<br />

based on local experience. However, there are farms, which are located closer than that. If it would come to an<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> the system, farms directly surrounding Kampala should be supplied preferably.<br />
