of the initiativeGoal
In all the countries of intervention, the initiative aims at increasing access to adequate sanitation services for the BoP customers and at triggering a vibrant sanitation marketplace.
A great social imPact will be achieved through increased accessiBility of services and quality products, ensuring economic and financial sustainaBility through the market-based approach that guarantees scalaBility and rePlicaBility of the intervention.
The initiative targets the urban or peri-urban areas in three African countries:
tanzania, Iringa Region, in four (4) wards
of Iringa Municipality, namely Kihesa, Kitwiru, Mtwivila and Nduli with
a total population of 57.300 people
senegal, Municipality of Bignona (Département
de Bignona, Région de Ziguinchor), Transgambian Area (Arrondissement de
Tenghory) with a total population of 51.250
inhabitants
mozamBique, Maputo, urban area of KaMubukwane District (District n.5) including
4 quartes with a total of 293.998 inhabitants
This programme is implemented by ACRA-CCS. The views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission

ACRA-CCS is a not for-
profit, and independent
foundation recognized
by the Italian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and the
European Union.
Since 1968, ACRA-CCS has
been supporting the fight
against poverty and hunger,
and has been promo-
ting the right of access to
clean water and sanitation,
natural resources, health
and education in African,
Central and Latin American
countries.
ACRA-CCS has been
working in the water and
sanitation rural sector since
the 70ies with interventions
supporting villages and
schools in accessing basic
Wat-San infrastructures.

The sanitation initiative has been designed
and is implemented in partnership with local
governments which are responsible for ensuring
the service delivery in the poor peri-urban
areas, unsettled and unserved. The sanitation
initiative is also supporting the municipalities

ACRA-CCS collaborates with relevant research
institutes to develop appropriate technological
options suitable to value the entire sanitation
chain, starting from wastewater treatment to
define the associated model of modern latrine.

ACRA-CCS initiative aims to establish a
self-sustaining sanitation market. The two key
elements to achieve this purpose are:
1. increasing supply: development of the
sanitation supply chain that promotes the role
of small and medium private entrepreneurs to
enhance their access in the sanitation market
through:
• Support to already existing initiatives and
start-up of new ones
• Enterprises incubators
• Coaching of entrepreneurs
• Training and support on business modelling
and planning
• Technical assistance and training on existing

• Market intelligence and awareness creation

should be made available for re-use.
These systems are based on the closure
of material flow cycles and on collecting
and treating the different wastewater flows

The applied technologies may range from
natural wastewater treatment techniques
2. creating demand: Social communication
campaigns trigger behavioral changes to adopt
appropriate hygiene and sanitation practices
at individual level. A variety of communication
channels are used to get the messages across.
Combined with social marketing campaigns, the
initiative stimulates the demand for sanitation
services, thus allowing the market creation for
the improved sanitation solutions.

marketplace opportunities to advocate

their communities
to compost toilets and from simple
household installations to complex,
mainly decentralized systems, but
includes also low-cost sewerage and
on-site sanitation systems.
Technological options researched are
shared with the target communities
in order to agree upon environmental
sanitation solutions to the
environmental challenges identified.
The options are not only focused on
microcredit, rather on a mix of many financial
instruments, such as savings, insurance, leasing,
working capital loans, etc.
Repayments of sanitation microcredits are then
revolved to other sanitation service providers,
thus indirectly increasing the accessibility to
sanitation services.
