| Abstract | This report presents the findings of a study on sanitation finance in Cambodia conducted for the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The overall objective of the assignment was to consider sustainable sanitation financing options with a focus on promoting access for the poorest. It contains an introduction on sanitation financing and subsidies, stating the cases for subsidies as well as some of their practical pitfalls. The study used data from two case studies of rural sanitation finance in Cambodia to illustrate the practical issues, supplemented by preliminary data from two recently launched sanitation marketing projects. The study also examined the potential use and effectiveness of (hardware) subsidies, Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) and other financing approaches relevant for sanitation improvement. The report ends with recommendations for improved sanitation finance, including practical suggestions for sanitation programs in Cambodia. These recommendations bear particular relevance for the second phase of the ADB Tonle Sap Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (TS-RWSSP), which is due to commence in 2010. [authors abstract] |
