Transforming Sanitation Markets: Key Learnings from Ethiopia and the Global Implications

This webinar from August 14, 2024, features a discussion between USAID's Transform WASH Ethiopia Activity, WASHPaLS #2, and partner LIXIL, on how findings from Ethiopia's market-based sanitation initiative can inform sanitation programs in other countries and regions.

Under the 2022 U.S. Global Water Strategy, USAID’s goal is to improve health, prosperity, stability, and resilience through sustainable and equitable access to sanitation services and hygiene practices. To this end, USAID is committed to generating new evidence that will drive such improvements globally through the Global Water Strategy Action Research Initiative.

In Ethiopia, USAID’s Transform WASH activity facilitates linkages between WASH product innovators and local manufacturers and distributors to increase access to key sanitation products. The T/WASH activity also rolls-out training for business owners, health extension workers, and sales agents, and supports masons who work in the design and construction of toilets. T/WASH has accumulated several key learnings from its market-based sanitation activities that will help inform USAID’s global impact in sanitation access and uptake of hygienic practices going forward.
