Sanevi’s suite of services – Research & Analytics, Design & Planning, Resource Mobilisation, Project Management, Technical Advisory and Policy Development – provides innovative, sustainable solutions engineered to your unique needs.
We are focused on empowering communities, governments and private sector actors to build healthier, cleaner, and sustainable sanitation futures guided by data-driven insights.

The research and analytics division conducts comprehensive research, studies and assessments to pinpoint sanitation challenges, evaluate user needs and design viable solutions and actionable strategies.
Services under research and analytics include environmental impact assessments, socio-economic analysis, needs/gap analysis and performance monitoring executed using advanced tools and methodologies (GIS mapping and statistical modelling) that capture unique sanitation contexts.
Our findings, analysis and recommendations are packaged in reports that guide our clients in resource allocation/optimisation, priority interventions and future endeavours.

Sanevi’s design team transform users’ unique sanitation requirements into cost-effective designs for specific sanitation applications. Our design outputs include sanitation infrastructure blueprints and decentralised sanitation systems that comply with applicable local and international standards.
Design and planning processes are guided by information and data provided by research and analysis (site assessments, feasibility studies, stakeholder consultations).
Our designs are scalable and adaptable, and minimise environmental impact, taking into account future growth..

Sanevi provides guidance and advice on financial arrangements for the sanitation sector. Under this service item, we conduct legal and financing appraisals for research/study, engineering/design, infrastructure development, capacity building and system strengthening.
Research and studies provide data to drive dialogue on financing sanitation infrastructure, services and flood management.
Sanevi’s finance team pursues several strategies to realize the optimum financing strategies for our clients (blended financing, public-private partnerships, etc).

Our expertise stretches across the very diverse systems and stakeholders delivering sanitation services.
