Abstract:
Microfinance is increasingly considered as a key element in a public strategy to increase access to sanitation services. But how to embed microfinance into sanitation programmes? Global experience shows that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. This report, initially commissioned by WaterAid East Africa, proposes a step-by-step approach which NGOs or other public actors could take in order to identify what role(s) they can play in increasing access to finance for sanitation. The step-by-step approach involves an analysis of the sanitation microfinance market: is there a demand for such financial services? Who are the main providers of microfinance services? Is there experience with sanitation microfinance in the country? What activities are needed to get financial institutions involved in sanitation? What are the potential roles of public actors for developing the sanitation microfinance market? The report takes examples from the East Africa region, including Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. Contents:
