Financing WASH: how to increase funds for the sector while reducing inequities

Explore Perspectives

What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

This Position Paper addresses three key issues that are receiving limited attention in the water and sanitation sector discussions on (blended) finance:

The lack of finance for strengthening the enabling environment
The untapped use of micro and blended finance
The inequities in allocation of finance in the sector
