The Business Development Toolkit explains the principles of doing business in poverty-stricken areas, offers a step-by-step business development approach and provides practical tools, tips and background information. The Toolkit is based on the experience of entrepreneurs in the water and sanitation sector in India, but is equally applicable to markets in other countries.
The complete Toolkit or individual sections can be downloaded below. These documents contain links to the accompanying tools and attachments.

This project focuses on training local businesses that will produce and sell new low cost water solutions that are affordable for (groups of) households. Demand and investments will be stimulated through social marketing and with the help of the Watsan Centre of Excellence. The goal is to establish a sustainable and competitive supply sector that offers a wide range of low cost water options (pumps, filters, etc) that can deliver water for middle and low income families.
