The Toilet Board Coalition built the world’s leading Accelerator dedicated to scaling sanitation SMEs via business model design, corporate mentorship and access to investment. The Accelerator not only strengthens and scales sanitation businesses, but it also facilitates partnerships within its Members – between SMEs, corporates, NGOs, investors and governments that share a commitment to enable universal access to sanitation.

To date, the Coalition has graduated 70 SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) from over 20 countries, impacting more than 3 million people daily and unlocking US$33 million in finance.

In 2023, the Accelerator expanded into Latin America an is co-financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and IDB Lab through the Source of Innovation alliance and delivered in Spanish in collaboration with Water For People. This year, the Toilet Board Coalition, with the support of Aqua For All, is offering the programme in West Africa for French-speaking entrepreneurs.
