Theoretical framework - day 1

Activities during Day 1 built on a study, which assesses the potential market size and scope for leveraging microfinance in the water and sanitation sector. Three core product segments where microfinance could be used for water and sanitation investments:

1. Retail loans for households for water and sanitation
2. Loans for small scale investments in new or existing water projects managed by CBOs or small private providers
3. Loans for urban services upgrading and shared facilities in low income areas in towns and cities

Participants were asked to asked to accept, reject, or improve on the three models. The full discussion is available in the document.
