Abstract

WaterAid has initiated a research project to evaluate the effectiveness of public financing for sustainable household sanitation in Thailand바카라 사이트™s rural areas. In Thailand, less than 1% of the rural population had access to basic sanitation in 1960, but this figure had reached 99.9% by 1999. This dramatic increase is the result of a concerted long term national programme by the Thai 바카라 사이트 that successfully employed a range of policy instruments and tools to expand sanitation coverage. The objective of this case study is to extract the lessons that can be learned from Thailand바카라 사이트™s example for other countries that still struggle to improve basic sanitation coverage, by understanding the cost and financing policies that contributed to this success.
