Summary: | This study summarizes the main
challenges to scaling up access to sustainable sanitation
services in the urban areas of three countries in the East
Asia and Pacific region-Indonesia, Philippines and
Vietnam-and proposes the main steps these countries need to
take to redress the status quo. The report is divided into
four chapters. The first chapter provides an overview of the
current level and quality of access to urban sanitation in
the region. The second chapter examines the causes leading
to the current state of urban sanitation, using four
thematic areas: people, technology, institutions and
finance. The third chapter identifies those factors that
need to be in place to trigger a different way of doing
business in the sector and that may ultimately lead to
transformational changes. The final chapter proposes
recommendations on how countries can upgrade and scale up
urban sanitation services. |
