Monitor Inclusive Markets (MIM) has written a white paper titled “A Market Led, Evidence Based, Approach to Rural Sanitation” (attached to this posting) on supply side market-based approaches to scale rural sanitation in India, based mainly on findings from the “Supporting Sustainable Sanitation Improvements” (3SI) project and supplemented by additional investigation of interventions in other parts of India.

Coming out of the 3SI project, many experts liked the results and the funder, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), felt that the findings would be worth sharing with the broader sanitation community. As such, with the support of BMGF, MIM has developed this white paper to disseminate the findings.

Please visit www.inclusive-markets.org/sanitation to see a more complete set of outputs from the 3SI project.

MIM will be holding a series of six open conference calls to discuss the key findings of the white paper as well as to field questions and hear feedback. The conference calls will be held on the dates and times below. Please RSVP to This email address is being protected from spambots.
