| Summary: | Launched in 2007, the Creating
Sanitation Markets (CSM) initiative is a multi stakeholder
effort led by the World Bank's water and sanitation
program to explore new alternatives for increasing access to
quality household sanitation in Peru. The approach is
premised on a market-based system for sanitation at the
bottom of the pyramid, introducing a new paradigm for local
sustainable development with the participation of private
enterprise. The model seeks to build an equitable and
harmonious relationship between supply and demand, through
development of products and services that meet the
expectations and needs of populations, encouraging the state
to assume a promotional role for the development of local
entrepreneurship and the education of citizens, and
development of financial options that allow the matching of
supply and demand. The smart lesson below shows what authors
have learned from four pilot projects in Peru-urban and
rural areas that have contributed to innovation in the
sanitation sector by adding new players and resources and
opening new opportunities for improving access to sanitation
while moving the agenda beyond coverage and poverty. |
