ALGORITHMS FOR LOAN ACQUISITION, VERIFICATION AND

REPORTING CYCLE

Sanitation Marketing Loan Process

FINISH INK project has elaborate loan marketing,

acquisition and reporting process flow.

All the consortium partners’ work together to ensure both the

demand and the supply for sanitation meet the satisfaction

of the customer and the product/s achieve set standards.

Once potential client and sanitation product has been

identified, loan officers from the financial institutions

conduct loan evaluations.

Cont…

Based on customer credit worthiness and the bill ofquantity supplied by the sanitation toilet product provideror artisan and cross-checked by Amref, the loan isdisbursed to the customer who acquires both servicesand goods to construct a sanitation system.

Direct verbal report is supplied to Amref and MoH whoverify that the customer has acquired the service of atrained artisan and correct materials are procuredaccording to standards and specifications.

Amref books thie client in the monthly monitoring tooland during regular field visits verifies the progress ofwork.

Challenges in sanitation marketing

High attrition rates ; trained local artisans pursuing for

greener pastures

Scanty supply chain for PVC slabs

Small dimension of PVC slabs are inappropriate to the

standard VIP slab size

Inability of sanitation marketing to converge at

availability, affordability, quality and acceptability of

technology

Set house hold priorities vs sanitation

Way forward

All involved tech. staff and CHWs must be capacity

built for greater results

Requires a robust institutional arrangements

Requires to establish regional resource capacity for

master trainers

Need for policy uptake orientations including national

guidelines

Ultimately ……

Busia County Rural Population to tackle the

remaining 31.4 % unimproved sanitation in the next

three (3) years

Thank you.
