SLIDE 30 To overcome the barriers, funders, implementers, and governments should intervene at different points in the system
Implementers
Develop a flexible, learning
approach to implementation
Consider the broader sanitation market
and intervene to solve barriers with public goods and associated value chains
Identify and support entrepreneurs
from across the system
Design interventions for sustainability
in order to ensure that the market functions, as donors exit – Actively built in self- redundancy
Iterate between elements of
enterprise and types of entrepreneurs available in order to reach a locally relevant MBS
Government
Invest in demand generation to
change prevailing social norms
Improve the availability of public
goods such as product design, market insights, etc.
Shape market rules to promote
private sector participation – Use subsidies to improve rather than distort market activity – Address fiscal barriers to improve sanitation market attractiveness for entrepreneurs
Funders
Recognize that MBS alone cannot
work in all contexts – Understand local context; be a part
– Ascertain latent demand – Consider social norms
Take a system-wide view and solve
for barriers, not only within the sanitation market but also in the business environment
Invest in long term change to
maximize potential of the scale up phase
Adopt MLE systems that encourage
learning and measure systems change
