conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Molly Goodwin-Kucinsky, Quang Nguyen, Alicia MayDrawing on experience implementing market-based sanitation programs in seven countries, this paper
describes iDE’s insights into building local capacity to promote sanitation in two different contexts: the
increasingly market-oriented planned economy of Vietnam and open market Cambodia. In both
countries, iDE leverages an understanding of partner and stakeholder barriers and motivations, applies
continuous coaching, and uses a variety of incentives to convert learning into practical action. With an
emphasis on creating sustainable, scalable change and adapting to ever-changing market conditions, to
date these two programs have facilitated the sale of almost 300,000 improved latrines to rural
households.
