| Through the Global Sanitation Fund, WSSCC is now an active financier of sanitation in some of the world’s poorest countries, including Madagascar, Malawi and Senegal. In those countries, and in Cambodia, India and Nepal, WSSCC has committed $36 million to impact the lives of millions of people over the next five years. A dozen more countries are interested in having the GSF work in their countries. Many lessons have been learned during the three years it has taken to build up and start implementing the GSF. In this side event, presentations from WSSCC GSF staff, African partners, and (via video) GSF country sub-grantees will give participants the latest news, information and plans for the Global Sanitation Fund. A large portion of time will be allocated for questions from attendees, who are expected to represent government, civil society, academia and international agencies active in the WASH sector in Africa. | |||||||||

| Starting with an overview of CLTS in Africa, this session will focus on several areas that are key to the progress and success of CLTS in Africa. Drawing on experiences from a range of countries and organisations, it will offer insights into key challenges, lessons and ways forward clustered around three aspects of CLTS: Under Local level champions and actions, practitioners will present systems that have proven useful for supporting local level activities and building strong foundations for CLTS practice. Strategies and practices for scaling up looks at different aspects and approaches of going to scale with CLTS. And Frontiers for CLTS brings together a range of innovative approaches such as for example SLTS and urban CLTS. The session will also be informed by the CLTS Sharing and Learning Workshop on CLTS that will take place before the conference. Please find the report of this prior session below. | |||||||||

|
|||||||
| At present, financing mechanisms for sanitation in low income areas focus on one-off capital expenditure at the project implementation phase. Increasingly, many countries only finance either the software or the hardware components of sanitation interventions. There is wide evidence that existing financial approaches lead to non-use of latrines and falling back to open defecation practices. The problem is even more challenging in highly dense poor urban areas. Likewise, one of the lessons learned has been that hygiene behaviour changes require more of a service than a once-off intervention, requiring support over time. In this session, different organisations will present good practices for financing post-construction activities and lessons learned for providing services to low income areas in peri-urban regions and rapidly growing small towns. | |||||||||

|
|||||||
| Strengthening the M&E on sanitation is a key commitment agreed upon by African countries during various sanitation forums. The JMP has engaged to reconcile its figures with countries, while contributing in this way to improve the country monitoring framework. The planned side event intends to review progress made in some countries and to share the promising experience with countries not yet involved in the process. During the session, issues related to, but not limited to data sources, infrastructure definitions and categories, indicators, urban/rural boundaries, tools for surveyors and the role of actors involved will be discussed in depth by participants. This session is expected to identify key recommendations and advice for countries to keep on track with the process, and to ensure that additional countries have a better understanding of data harmonization and reconciliation, on the one hand, and that they decide to engage with the process, on the other. | |||||||||

S14 Innovations and Successes in Multilateral financing of Sanitation and Hygiene Education | ||||||||
| Financing remains one of the most common barriers to progress in sanitation today. While support is slowly improving, knowledge of successful strategies is still low, which often prevents the implementation of otherwise promising ideas and projects. The African Development Bank is hosting an event meant to highlight ongoing sanitation and hygiene education projects to look at their financing strategy and how they respond to challenges in urban, peri-urban and rural areas. The event will attempt to answer the following three overarching questions: (1) What does a successful urban, peri-urban, rural sanitation project look like? (2)Can sanitation projects be made financially viable?(3) What are the main constraints to financing in sanitation and how can they be overcome? | |||||||||
