3. Knowledge Drive Compile sustainable models/case studies Choices in the sanitation ladder

4. Technology Drive DEWATS: Viet Nam Constructed Wetlands: China Many technology choices Conventional: Sihanoukville Toilets Sulabh pour-flush toilets with twin pits; attached to biogas digesters in unsewered areas (India) Eco-san toilets – produce safe fertilizer: Philippines; PRC Decentralized wastewater treatment technologies (DEWATS) for urban poor communities: Indonesia public markets: Philippines peri-urban areas: Viet Nam Constructed wetlands Ningbo and Nanjing (China) Bayawan City (Philippines) Conventional Da Nang (Viet Nam) Sihanoukville (Cambodia)

5. Financing Drive…1 Develop Business briefs and Pre-feasibility studies Models of Affordable and innovative financing Gram Vikas (India): Socialized community fund raising for toilets and bathing facilities Kerala (India), Sri Lanka and Viet Nam: Revolving funds for toilets and biogas plants Philippines: Environmental User Fee; microfinancing Public – Private Partnerships Philippines and India: private concessionaires responsible for investments, operation and management Other mechanisms Nepal: Output-based aid Shanghai (PRC) and Fiji: Clean development mechanism

7. Incentive Drive: Revenue Potential…1 Different uses: Source of water for irrigation : VietNam, China Source of water for industrial use : India Biosolids/Organic fertilizers : Philippines Feeds for aquaculture : Bangladesh, India Source of energy Biogas for electricity, lighting and cooking: India, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal Potential for carbon credits CDM : Kinoya Wastewater Treatment Project in Fiji Biogas:Cambodia Fertilizer:Philippines PROMOTE REUSE OF TREATED WASTE

8. Incentive Drive: Revenue Potential…2 Bali, Indonesia: Reuse of treated wastewater from the “Eco-Lagoon,” which is also a tourist attraction India: Reuse of treated wastewater for industrial use, in Surat, Gujarat State through PPP is augmenting water supply, set to earn US$6 million per year Xiamen, PR China: The Shiweitou Sewage Treatment Plant supplies 24,000 cu.m/day of treated wastewater for watering plants in more than 500 ha., earning RMB 2 million per year Bangladesh: duckweed-based wastewater treatment pond - net profit of almost US$ 2000/ha/y from operation and using duckweed as feeds in aquaculture farms. Treated wastewater: China Eco-lagoon, Nusa Dua POTENTIAL REVENUES

9. Awareness and Advocacy Drive…1 Hygiene and environmental education in schools India: Total Sanitation Campaign Philippines: Fit-for-School Program Triggering demand: community-led total sanitation Bangladesh, Cambodia Stakeholder participation: SANIMAS in Indonesia Social marketing of sanitation India Stimulate demand and willingness to pay INCREASE AWARENESS AND INVOLVE THE STAKEHOLDERS

10. Partnership with the private sector Need bankable projects and cost recovery mechanism Business briefs and pre-feasibility studies with willing partners Conduct Round Tables Govt/municipal administration, private sector, consumers, financiers etc. Address affordability issues: lower interest rates, longer repayment period This is a key component of the Asia Sanitation Revolution Go beyond advocacy Develop sustainable business opportunities Have stakeholder buy-in This is a key component of the Asia Sanitation Revolution Go beyond advocacy Develop sustainable business opportunities Have stakeholder buy-in Awareness and Advocacy Drive…2
