Read more below about what they bring to the collaboration:
For 15 years, iDE has strengthened WASH systems across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia by building functioning, inclusive markets for water and sanitation products and services. We pair human-centered design (HCD) with market facilitation to grow local supply chains, generate sustained demand, and build the capacity of entrepreneurs and institutions. This has been a main driver for embedding durable delivery mechanisms within government and community systems rather than relying on one-off service provision.
