Abstract

On the 8th and 9th of October 2009, KfW Entwicklungsbank hosted its first Water Symposium with focus on financing sanitation. More than 70 participants from the sciences, from development banks, government institutions and non-governmental agencies explored the challenges of sanitation and discussed ways to further develop innovative financing mechanisms for improved hygiene, sanitation and wastewater management in low income countries. Four thematic areas were highlighted by detailed background papers and presentations. The panel and open floor discussions directed particular emphasis towards the question of how development banks can better extend their activities to low income groups, especially in fast growing peri-urban and informal areas.

Proceedings include : Main findings and recommendations for development banks; programme; Session 1: Financing change in personal hygiene behaviour – creating demand; Session 2: Targeting the poor – facilities and improved services; Session 3: Urban spaces – how to provide and finance service to peri-urban areas ; Session 4: The role of service providers/utilities in topics 1 to 3.
