Abstract | From 23 June to 21 July 2015, sanitation finance at the macro, meso, and micro level was discussed on the SuSanA Discussion Forum. This thematic discussion addressed the role of finance for achieving successful sanitation outcomes for urban areas. In particular, the role of taxes both at the national and local level was examined, microfinance models for households and small businesses were evaluated and the question of how cities can achieve full cost recovery of sanitation services by blending different forms of finance was discussed. Moreover, participants highlighted how the different levels can come together to sustainably finance every part of the sanitation chain. Finally, they located finance within the broader eco-system that is required to achieve sustainable sanitation outcomes. [author abstract] |
