Thank you for sharing this. I am interested in WASH finance and found the content to be thorough and well organised. However, the focus on enterprise is surprising to me. Agree a lot of private players are involved in service provision, it is a public good and remains with public agencies in much of the global South. Can we afford to ignore the move to Remunicipalisation of services where they were privatised for decades? 

Also curious about the sources of data used for the investor map and how one could suggest or add other investors to the map.

Over the past year, cewas and the Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth (CSP) at the University of Zurich have combined practical experience and academic research to shed light on how to match innovative WASH enterprises with appropriate finance. The beta version of the  Financing WASH Impact Toolbox  created by cewas and CSP with the support of Innosuisse has now been launched. The toolbox provides:

• A water enterprise typology  featuring detailed data on the different types of water enterprises in terms of their business model, operating context, impact potential, and financial profile.
• Factsheets on (innovative) financing instruments  coupled with insights into when different financing instruments are relevant and what implications they have for samitation and water-related enterprises.
• A map of investors  relevant for financing enterprises in the sector.
• A tool to assess the investment readiness  of sanitation and water enterprises. 

Call to Action: If you have suggestions for additional impact oriented investors that we should add to the investor map , please share them here! We welcome you to dive in! Take a look under:  sswm.info/perspective/financing-water-impact  .  We also plan to publish a guidebook in a PDF form soon, so stay tuned for the release.
We hope this toolbox is helpful and would encourage the whole SuSanA community to help disseminate it!
