| Abstract | Limited access to financing is a key obstacle for small-scale finance recipients to deliver sustainable services. This is, of course, not the only constraint, but it is a significant one, alongside informality, lack of business skills, and affordability constraints. Both microfinance and mesofinance present market potential to provide services to the poor. Sanitation is potentially the subsector where needs are greatest and that holds great potential for the application of microfinance. [authors abstract] |
