Sanitation Market Systems (SanMarkS)
Through the project Sanitation Market Systems (SanMarkS), the poor and disadvantaged will benefit from a better wellbeing due to improved hygienic sanitation solutions which are offered by the private sector in a sustainable manner. As a result of the project, funded by SDC and UNICEF, the private sector service providers in collaboration with public actors will respond to the needs and demand of the rural poor and provide improved sanitation services to at least 450,000 people in at least six districts of Bangladesh.

Contesto |
In rural Bangladesh the people’s access to sanitation has significantly improved over the last years, and the practice of open defecation drastically decreased. However, the country-wide coverage with low-quality latrines has led to a situation where the achievement of UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7, from a hygiene quality perspective, is unlikely. Nevertheless, the rural population of Bangladesh, including the poor, spend considerable amounts of money for their sanitation systems. Increasingly, the poor are ready to invest in improved and more hygienic solutions that should be customer-oriented, affordable and commercially available in local markets. Based on a recent successful pilot project supported by SDC, the proposed project aims to facilitate the market systems of quality sanitation products to respond to this need. |
Obiettivi |
450,000 people (60% poor, out of whom 40% disadvantaged) in 90,000 households, particularly women, children and youth, in at least six districts benefit from increased and more equitable utilisation of quality sanitation facilities and services, resulting in better health conditions and wellbeing. |
