Financial approaches

→‎Revolving funds
Interesting approach in the absence of financial institutions, sometimes even in kind (chickens etc.). Current funds often do not include interest, so capital diminishes. Revolving funds have been widely used in Kenya for example, usually by church based NGOs providing financial resources to women's groups. As a result thousands of rainwater tanks have been built.
(http://www.dams.org/docs/kbase/contrib/opt163.pdf).
Provision of small-scale loans for investment in water supply systems has also been successfully implemented in peri-urban areas of Cochabamba in Bolivia, where the micro-credit agency CIDRE has joined forces with a private sector company, the municipal government, the utility and community organizations to expand infrastructure (http://www.aguatuya.com/html/our_partners.html ). High potential for rural areas without banking facilities and areas with good social cohesion
Used at community level
Interest in this concept is increasing and good results are reported for example from Anhui province in China, particularly where community leaders were involved (http://www.unicef.org/evaldatabase/index_14260.html). In Nepal the government does not provide subsidies for sanitation but has established revolving funds which the community can keep if they have obtained 100% coverage (http://www.livelihoods.org/hot_topics/docs/CLTS_update06.pdf). Requires transparent management. High potential particularly in homogenous communities aiming at 100 percent sanitation
