Abstract
This document presents the findings of a
study on sanitation finance in Cambodia conducted for the
Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) with support from the
Asian Development Bank (ADB). The overall objective of the
assignment was to consider sustainable sanitation financing
options with a focus on promoting access for the poorest.
This guidance note contains an introduction on sanitation
financing and subsidies, stating the cases for subsidies as
well as some of their practical pitfalls. The study used
data (as of late 2009) from two case studies of rural
sanitation finance in Cambodia to illustrate the practical
issues, sup-plemented by preliminary data from two
sanitation marketing projects. The study also examined the
potential use and effectiveness of (hardware) subsidies,
conditional cash transfers (CCTs), and other financing
approaches relevant for sanitation improvement. The document
ends with recommendations for improved sanitation finance,
including practical suggestions for sanitation programs in
Cambodia. These recommendations bear particular relevance
for the ADB's Second Rural Water Supply and Sanitation
Sector Project, which commenced in 2010.
