This evidence can help identify the best-performing approaches and the relevant factors and issues to consider in designing a sanitation financing strategy. The study systematically compares alternative financing approaches based on a set of common indicators, including in terms of the effectiveness in the use of public funds and targeting. The team chose to focus on those projects recognized as successes to obtain a reasonable representation of the better practices in sanitation programs. The study identified a number of useful examples and tentative lessons about finance which should help to advance the design of sanitation finance at the outset of a project. Replicating such experiences will require a better understanding of what drives household investment and what the key constraints limiting such investment are, in both financial and non-financial terms. The sanitation challenge continues to grow with population, as does the cost of failing to meet it. This study is a worthwhile contribution to addressing the challenge of how to pay for sanitation.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO SANITATIONACCESS TO SERVICESACCESS TO WATERAFFORDABILITYALTERNATIVE FINANCINGBANK LOANBENEFITS OF SANITATIONBORROWINGCAPITAL COSTCAPITAL COSTSCESSPITSCLEANLINESSCOMMUNITY TOILETSCONNECTIONSCOST OF ACCESSCOST SHARINGCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCOST-SHARINGCREDIT GROUPCREDIT SCHEMESCREDIT SUPPORTCROSS-SUBSIDIESDEMAND FOR SANITATIONDIARRHEADISEASE TRANSMISSIONDONOR SUPPORTDRAINDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTENTREPRENEURSENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSEVALUATION CRITERIAEXCHANGE RATESEXCLUSIONEXPENDITUREEXTERNAL FINANCINGEXTERNALITIESEXTREME POVERTYFAMILIESFINANCESFINANCIAL PRODUCTSFINANCIAL REWARDFINANCIAL REWARDSFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFLUSH TOILETGOOD SANITATIONGOVERNMENT POLICIESHOME IMPROVEMENTHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD INVESTMENTHOUSEHOLD INVESTMENTSHOUSEHOLD SANITATIONHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN EXCRETAHYGIENE EDUCATIONHYGIENE PROMOTIONINADEQUATE SANITATIONINCIDENCE OF DISEASESINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINITIAL INVESTMENTINTEREST RATEINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL FINANCELACK OF SANITATIONLATRINELATRINE CONSTRUCTIONLATRINESLIMITED ACCESSLIQUID WASTE DISPOSALLOAN APPLICANTSMEDIA CAMPAIGNSMICROCREDITMICROFINANCEMONIESO&MOPERATING COSTSPIT LATRINESPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE FUNDSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPROVISION OF ACCESSPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC SUBSIDIESPUBLIC SUBSIDYPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYREPAYMENTSREVOLVING FUNDREVOLVING FUNDSSANITATIONSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION FACILITYSANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION INTERVENTIONSSANITATION OPTIONSSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION PROJECTSSANITATION PROMOTIONSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSANITATION SOLUTIONSSANITATION STRATEGIESSANITATION SYSTEMSSANITATION TAXSAVINGSSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL OF HYGIENESELF-FINANCINGSEPTIC TANKSEPTIC TANKSSEWER CONNECTIONSEWERAGESEWERAGE NETWORKSSEWERAGE SERVICESSITE SANITATIONSMALL LOANSSOCIAL MARKETINGSOURCE OF FUNDSSOURCES OF FINANCESOURCES OF FUNDSSTART-UPTAXTECHNICAL SUPPORTTOILETTOILETSTOLLTOTAL SANITATIONTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRUEUNIONUNIONSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN COVERAGEURBAN SANITATIONUSERSUTILITIESVILLAGEVILLAGESWASHINGWATER SUPPLYWATER TARIFFSWEALTHWORKING CAPITAL10.1596/17265
