Download Learning Brief – Financing sanitation for cities and towns

This learning brief presents highlights from the learning paper ‘Financing sanitation for cities and towns’ that synthesised current leading edge thinking about sanitation financing, especially regarding upfront capital for initial investment. Insights from an online discussion of the draft findings with sector practitioners was incorporated into the research, which sought to clarify principles, show examples of ways others have financed sanitation and demonstrate what is possible, for an audience of advisors, planners and people facilitating urban sanitation without easy access to financing. Both the learning brief and learning paper were prepared by SNV Netherlands Development Organisation and the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney, as part of their partnership for research and learning to improve urban sanitation sector knowledge and practice.
