Isle Utilities conducted sustainability reviews for six non-sewered sanitation centres participating in Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)-led water efficient sanitation projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

With 2.3 billion people around the world<\/span> lacking access<\/span><\/a> to even the most basic sanitation services, addressing this global crisis is more urgent than ever. Challenges such as rapid population growth, ageing infrastructure, climate stress and increasing water scarcity intensify the need for effective solutions. However, policy changes and proactive investment in sustainable non-sewered sanitation can improve both access and quality of life for vulnerable communities, helping turn the tide towards a more equitable future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)\u2019s focus on Water, Sanitation & Hygiene<\/span> aims<\/span><\/a> to ‘enable widespread use of safely managed, sustainable sanitation services that contribute to positive health, economic, and gender equality outcomes for the world\u2019s poorest people\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project evaluated Centers and Expert Groups across South Africa, India, Thailand, and China, focusing on their sustainability, business models, innovation and capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isle was contracted to undertake performance, opportunity and sustainability assessments, and produce guiding reports and recommendations for future investment. A secondary project aim was to explore the feasibility of an Africa-Asia Sanitation Research Network (AARN). The AARN would serve as a long-term, self-sustained research and innovation network across partners focused on sustainable and water efficient sanitation research, innovation and technology adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through independent reviews, Isle Utilities and external experts from Steam-A, Trade and Industrial Policies and Strategies (TIPS) and North Carolina State University identified national contexts, key strengths and areas for improvement within each Centre\/Expert Group that would support their 2024-2030 institutional strategies. Experts in NSS and sustainable sanitation to develop a collaborative framework for improving market development and technology adoption. Together, partners across South Africa, India, Thailand, China, the US and UK co-created a Network Roadmap 2024-2030 to build on and support market adoption of sanitation technology and innovation priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n
