Why is sanitation not happening fast

enough?

lack of political will

neglect of external costs and benefits

low prestige and recognition

neglect of consumer preferences

ineffective promotion and low public awareness

poor policy at all levels and poor institutional frameworks

inadequate and poorly-used resources

inappropriate approaches (e.g. planning and choice of

adequate sanitation systems)

SuSanA was triggered by the

International Year of Sanitation 2008

secure real commitments to develop & implement effective action to scale up

sanitation programmes

secure increased financing to jump start & sustain progress

develop & strengthen institutional & human capacity

enhance sustainability & effectiveness of sanitation solutions

promote & capture learning to enhance evidence base & knowledge on
