Sanitation Service Delivery (SSD)

2014 - 2019 • PSI

Purpose

Improving sanitation outcomes by developing and testing scalable business models that engage private sector service providers and by contributing to the creation of an enabling environment for sanitation in West Africa

Activities

Sanitation Service Delivery (SSD) is a USAID/West Africa regional urban
sanitation project that is implemented by PSI in collaboration with
PATH and Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP). The goal
of the program is to improve sanitation outcomes by developing and
testing scalable business models that engage private sector service providers and
by contributing to the creation of a strong enabling environment for sanitation in
West Africa.

Together, USAID and its partners PSI, PATH and WSUP envision a thriving sanitation marketplace with increased capacity to deliver products and services to low-income consumers in a sustainable manner. In the process, SSD will learn and share findings, models and tools regionally that facilitate rapid expansion of successful approaches and position the project and as a regional leader in the sector.
