Different geographical areas require different service delivery models. To address the needs of diverse populations, we guide stakeholders through a process of informed choice regarding technologies, finance strategies, regulation and service delivery models. We facilitate discussion on the trade-offs linked to choices, in particular giving special attention to low-income groups and slum residents. Working with the private sector, we develop financially viable, sustainable business models for the treatment, re-use and safe disposal of human waste, and we work with communities on service models that are safe and affordable.
