Urban sanitation - SuSanA themcatic discussion image

The second SuSanA thematic discussion "Urban Sanitation Finance – from Macro to Micro Level" will start on Tuesday 23 June on the SuSanA Discussion Forum and will run up to 16 July.

The discussion will look at financing sanitation in urban areas from different angels – What are current levels of public finance at national level for urban sanitation? Is local taxation a key? What role could microfinance play to support on-site sanitation and how could different financing mechanisms be combined innovatively at city level?

Six experts will lead the way:

  • Catarina Fonseca (Senior Programme Officer and Head of the International and Innovative Programme, IRC)
  • Guy Norman (Head of Evaluation, Research and Learning at Water&Sanitation for the Urban Poor, WSUP)
  • Sophie Trémolet (Director of Trémolet Consulting)
  • Goufrane Mansour (Consultant at Trémolet Consulting)
  • Antoinette Kome (Global Sector Coordinator for WASH at Netherlands Development Organisation, SNV)
  • Kumi Abeysuriya (Senior Research Consultant of the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney)
