Sanitation Finance Course At IHE, Netherlands

In partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), IHE Delft has launched a Master of Science Programme in Sanitation. This demand-driven and practice orientated programme will yield graduates with fundamental understanding as well as the skills necessary for creating impact in the sanitation sector. The generic skill development is embedded from the start, through individual coaching and tailored guidance. Preparatory (e-learning) courses are included. In the near future, the programme will also be available at universities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

This two-week course has been developed in conjunction with leading experts in this field and gives an overview of current trends and needs in sanitation financing within the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework. It highlights the issues related to sanitation financing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with examples from African and Asian countries. Participants will become familiar with sanitation financing options available at national and local level and their impact on the local municipal budget, as well as with novel and innovative sanitation financing approaches including private-public partnerships. The course distinguishes between the sanitation service and value chain, and explores sustainable business models with the entire sanitation service chain. The participants will gain practical knowledge to develop the costing and financing of a financially viable sanitation project.
