  1. CSWs: Commercial sex workers. ~ Financial and economic values for the capital items (except for buildings) were considered equal. However, costs were discounted in the economic valuation (3%) resulting in economic costs being lower than financial costs for these items. 8The economic value of buildings is based on local market survey. * estimated as in the impact model i.e. 0.78 of the estimated CSW population.
