10. Financing Sanitation
• Provide funds for all the elements of the sanitation program
• Be sustainable. Funds must always be available for the key elements of the sanitation
program, and match funding to the responsibilities of different institutional partners.
• Advance agreed national sanitation policies and strategies: Financing practice
must be consistent with the declared spirit of national policies and strategies.
• Maximize public and private benefits: Sanitation and hygiene improvements have
public and private costs and benefits. Public funds should be used for hygienic
practices, policy development and institutional strengthening, community hardware
such as wastewater treatment plants and sewer collection systems. Private funds
should be used for essentially private elements of the system (soap, individual latrines
etc).
• Achieve equity: Equity concerns apply equally to the hygiene behavior elements of
the program.Adequate funds must be made available if health gains are to be
achieved in areas where there has been little progress in the past.
