WHAT IS FINISH
FINISH stands for: Financial Inclusion Improves Sanitation & Health and aims for sanitation for all through an integrated model that addresses both the demand and supply side of the sanitation challenge.
The programme works with a multistakeholder approach which involves the entire value chain. By mobilising the supply side of sanitation while integrating financial resources into the value chain, the programme raises awareness on and creates a demand for sanitation services amongst end-users.
We ensure that:
- People are aware of the need for a safe and durable toilet,
- People want to buy one and can afford it,
- Local people can build one.
IMPACT
Results to date:
- Improved sanitation: 1 million toilets were built in India and Kenya
- Local business development: more than 10 million work days in construction alone
- Sanitation densities: more than 75% sanitation density was reached in 717 villages in different states in India
- Financial inclusion: grant funding leveraged 14 times with local funding, a total amount of 140 million euro was generated locally,
- Development of a sanitation value chain: over 25 tonnes of human waste has been converted and sold into marketable compost and 25,000 tonnes has been converted to soil conditioner for local use
