"Money down the pan?" Community level models for financing sanitation in rural Nepal

Abstract
The research considers the impact of providing diverse levels of financial and material support, and the manner in which resources are targeted and allocated in communities. The broad financing models are reviewed using multi-criteria analysis looking at social, economic and sustainability dimensions. The paper looks in-depth at the impact of the diversity of financing models on sector efficiency. It also addresses how the sector as a whole can operate more effectively to ensure financial resources are better targeted and coordinated to achieve the ambitious sanitation targets in Nepal.
