Written by jke on January 21, 2010 – 8:50 pm -
New publication by the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP): “Financing On-Site Sanitation for the Poor - A Six Country Comparative Review and Analysis” (PDF; 2.4 MB)
Public investments of varying forms enable an absolute increase in the number of poor people gaining access to sanitation, varying from 20 percent to 70 percent, according to a study of six cases in Bangladesh, Ecuador, India, Mozambique, Sénégal, and Vietnam by the World Bank-administered Water and Sanitation Program (WSP).
This publication seeks to identify the best-performing approaches and the relevant factors and issues to consider in designing a sanitation financing strategy. The report offers guidance to sector professionals developing on-site sanitation projects and programs, which play the leading role in providing access to sanitation.
The Water and Sanitation Program is a multi-donor partnership administered by the World Bank to support poor people in obtaining affordable, safe, and sustainable access to water and sanitation services.

Sector Wide SanWat Survey Out Now!
Written by jke on January 15, 2010 – 4:09 pm -The German Toilet Organization, BORDA and WECF in collaboration with End Water Poverty have set up a new initiative to strengthen internal sectoral communication, knowledge management and issue based advocacy in the fields of sanitation, water and hygiene in Germany.
The first step has been to carry out a sector-wide survey to identify the actors (specifically German development NGOs) that are active in these fields and to collect suggestions about how better communication and cooperation amongst those players can be achieved in the future.
The results of the survey will presented to all the organisations that have participated in the survey at a SanWat-Symposium planned for February / March 2010 in Berlin or Bonn. This will provide an opportunity for suggestions and ideas for joint network activities to be presented and discussed. More details, including the agenda and location, will be provided in good time.
