Sanevi bridges the gap between the challenge (a young, growing and increasingly urbanized population) and the solution (universal access to safely managed sanitation) by providing the support, expertise, knowledge, resources and tools for inclusive and market-based interventions to sustainable sanitation in East Africa.
What Guides Us
The Sanitation Nexus
Universal access to safely managed sanitation (SDG 6.2) need not be a zero-sum game. The Sanitation Nexus is the sweet spot that balances inclusive and universally accessible sanitation, market-driven solutions/innovations and environmental sustainability.
Our Approach
Knowledge
Data, Analysis, Insights, and Studies that shed light on sanitation challenges, available solutions and interventions
Resources
Technical capacity, innovation, resources (financial or other), manpower or equipment required to implement available solutions
Systems
Technology, Engineering and Governance structures required to implementa and maintain sustainable sanitation outcomes
