Summary: | Sanitation services are beneficial for
communities at large. They generate strong positive health
and environmental benefits to society
('externalities'). Public financing is an
important way to stimulate the provision of these services,
but there are serious issues with the way public subsidies
for sanitation have been delivered up to now. Recent
estimates show that the sanitation millennium development
goals (MDGs) will simply not be met in a number of countries
if 'business-as-usual' continues. The study looks
at how such Output-Based Aid (OBA) schemes might be designed
by analyzing the sanitation value-chain, and what
institutional, financing and risk mitigation measures would
be required for each type of OBA scheme. Questions discussed
include 'what' outputs should be subsidized and
'who' are the most likely candidates to provide
output-based sanitation services. |
