Shops for sanitation hardware and masons building toilet exist in any countryThe challenge is to increase outreachAnd serve many more customers
Please do tell here that: Shops selling sanitation hardware and masons building toilets exist in any country but the challenge is how to reach many more RURAL customers.There is no outreach, no marketing, and little expectations from entrepreneurs of the rural customersFor the larger entrepreneurs the rural sanitation market is not very attractive because it’s a minor part of their business.The range of products that is offered by both shops and masons is very limited, and often only for the richer households.No linkages are made with the demand creation process and the collaboration between public and private sector is generally weak.There is little information of whom the suppliers are able to reach and whom not.
Directly to households:In the form of up-front cashAs vouchersIn-kind (as materials)In cash after construction (this could be called out-put based)Subsidized credit To communities or VDCs/ communes:Via earmarked public funding for sanitation going to local government levelsAs Post-ODF awards (not-earmarked) awarded to communities (or local government)Via private sector providers:Output based incentives to providers (for example for serving certain more distant geographic areas)Subsidizing a certain (low-cost) technology so that providers will sell that option at a lower priceSubsidized credit for providers, so that they can give (cheaper) credit to households
