FINISH Mondial: Safe Sanitation and Improved Health for All by 2030 Having a safe toilet is still a privilege of the happy few. By 2015, only 39% of the global population (2.9 billion people) used a safely managed sanitation service. People at the base of the pyramid (BoP) face largest challenges to improve WASH conditions and solid waste management services. At the same time, this group represents the largest opportunity in terms of potential health gains and economic empowerment. There is momentum for inclusive sanitation and health. The 2030 horizon set by the SDGs is inspiring and moving many actors into action. The ambition on sanitation is high and the scope and interrelatedness of goals is such that these cannot be addressed by single purpose or single party approaches alone. National governments have put sanitation more predominantly on their agendas, supported by a growing evidence base of alternative approaches. Improving health outcomes and poverty indicators therefore requires an inclusive approach to sanitation and health. An approach that strategically uses donor funds with a focus to scale. And which links behaviour change in communities with government leadership as well as business development and finance opportunities. So markets are developed that service base of the pyramid populations, and change sanitation behaviour for good. FINISH aims for sanitation market development for BoP populations. As a public private partnership it fosters stakeholders from four domains, ie communities, government, business and finance (Diamond approach, see figure 1) to work together on this objective. So that by the end of the day: - people know they need a toilet (through health awareness creation) - people want a toilet (through demand creation) - people want to buy a durable toilet with safe management of human waste (through sanitation marketing) - local people can build those (through mason training) - people can afford those (through financial inclusion and loans, design improvements and economies of scale) FINISH Mondial aims to 1. Kick-start the PPP for sanitation market development in 6 countries: India and Kenya (inclusive scale), Uganda, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Tanzania (market development). A FINISH Mondial ToC has been developed. It distinguishes pathways towards BoP sanitation market development and subsequently towards reaching inclusive scale (below). The present proposal details expected status towards inclusive scale by June 2019 for India and Kenya, as well as expected status of BoP sanitation market development by June 2019 for Uganda, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Tanzania. 2. Develop FINISH Mondial PPP with a 2030 horizon to boost scale, including a roadmap for strategic partnership building and multi-annual multi-country financing.

Medical Services Outreach Programme Tanzania Amref Health Africa’s Medical Services program focuses on improving the capacity of health systems to deliver quality health services through strengthening facility based clinical and laboratory services, especially in remote and underserved areas in Africa. The program provides a wide range of health specialists drawn from national and regional tertiary care hospitals as well as Amref Health Africa staff representing at least 21 different specialties. The Amref Health Africa Medical Services interventions are currently being implemented in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Senegal and Tanzania. Outreach activities are planned annually, and city based specialists make three to five days’ visits to the participating hospitals based upon requests. Tanzania is still facing a huge challenge in having adequate human resources for health both in numbers and skills mix. The levels of shortage varied over time since independence in 1961, with the sharp increase of the crisis being observed between 1994 and 2002 when the government implemented the civil service reforms policy of 1990s which involved the retrenchment and employment freeze that focused on cutting down public expenditure. Other contributing factors to the sharp decline included: weak planning and forecasting of Human Resources for Health (HRH) requirements; inadequate involvement of key stakeholders, including end-users of the health care system in HRH planning and brain drain within and outside the country. [HRH&SW Strategic Plan 2014-2019]. Despite a number of developments to respond into HRH crisis including development of strategies and intervention that focused on increasing production, quality and recruitment of HRH graduates, this remains a distant dream. In addition to this, hospitals experience on and off shortage of medical supplies and equipment that are relevant for the provision of medical care, poor infrastructure and receives inadequate supportive supervisions. The goal of the Medical Services Outreach Programme is to strengthen the capacity of the health care system to provide essential quality medical services. The key objectives of the programme are: 1. Strengthen the capacity of health care systems to deliver quality clinical and diagnostic services; 2. Deliver quality clinical and diagnostic services to under-served communities in Africa; 3. Generate evidence to inform best practice and policy. The principle beneficiaries of the Amref Health Africa Outreach projects are poor disadvantaged patients living in remote rural areas of eastern Africa, together with their families, and the communities in which they live. It is estimated that 2.8 million people living in the rural parts of Tanzania covered by the services indirectly benefit from the programme. Additional beneficiaries are the medical officers and specialists other health workers and technical staff of the hospitals visited who upgrade their capacity in terms of skills and knowledge.

FINISH Mondial 2020-2025 FINISH Mondial has set ambitious targets: in the period 2020-25, an additional 10 million people will have gained access to and use safe sanitation through the programme. This equates to 20% of the Dutch Government’s total sanitation (SDG 6, clean water and sanitation) target till 2030. This will be achieved through the realisation of 2 million safely managed sanitation systems. FINISH has until now mobilized some € 200 million in local financing for household toilet construction. FINISH Mondial is upscaling this to over € 400 million of local financing with an average grant investment of € 20 per facility. FINISH Mondial is launched in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

WASH Alliance Bridge Fund Project - Uganda The WASH Alliance International envisions a world where all people have access to and make use of sustainable water and sanitation services that they can afford, and where all people can live under hygienic conditions to improve their health, dignity and economic living standard. The WAI programme 2016 will work on three integrated pillars: 1. Developing a functioning and enabling WASH market, in which the private sector is providing quality products and services at an affordable price and in which the financial sector facilitates the access and use of finance for entrepreneurs and consumers. 2. Developing an enabling public sector for WASH, in which the government takes up its responsibility as duty bearer, creates a supportive policy and regulatory environment for sustainable WASH services for all, with strong M&E (Monitoring & Evaluation) frameworks and allocates sufficient budget for WASH. 3. Empowering, informing and organising citizens for sustainable WASH: informed citizens will demand, participate and pay for sustainable WASH services and practice healthy hygienic behaviour; organised citizens will claim high quality WASH services from the market; and empowered citizens hold the government accountable for delivering quality WASH services for all. The WAI programme 2016 will be together with partners: Amref, WASTE, RAIN, Akvo and about several local NGO’s in the countries Bangladesh, Nepal, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Mali. Simavi is the lead agency of the WAI, the programme is managed by the WASH Alliance Management Unit located at Simavi. In 2016 the WAI’s main objective will be to strengthen our position as an innovative player in the international WASH Sector, focusing on sustainability & acceleration. We will work on the following sub-objectives: 1. Diversify and expand our funding base, both internationally and in the countries, to a total of €19 mln Euro in 2017 2. Provision of safe water to an additional 140.000 people and improved sanitation to an additional 160.000 people against €18,- per person 3. Learn and innovate on sustainability and acceleration. Our operational areas were chosen because these areas had less access to WASH services than the general access levels in these countries, or in other words, we selected areas with more marginalized people. In these areas we target everyone, as only with full coverage the impact of WASH services on the health of people and the environment can be fully achieved.
JIBU (phase 2): Increasing access to health information for nurses and midwives in Kenya Dubbed 'Jibu', a Kiswahili word meaning 'answer', the initiative seeks to overcome barriers in accessing current, relevant and credible information to support learning and practice for nurses and midwives in Kenya. Health information delivery is granted through the use of a mobile application with on/offline capability. Since its inception in 2013, over 10,000 nurses and midwives have been enrolled onto the application, signaling the timeliness of this much needed service among the health workers. With our mobile learning platform JIBU, Amref Health Africa will provide training and education to nurses, where they need it, when they need it.
Kenya Specialist Outreach Programme The Amref Health Africa Specialist Outreach Programme was established in 1957 to take essential medical and surgical services to rural and underserved hospitals across eastern Africa. Over time, more than 300 hospitals in 8 countries have benefited from the services provided. Today the Programme continues to serve marginalized communities in various counties through the Amref Flying Doctors light aircraft, commercial flights and road transport. Over 30 hospitals are reached through Outreach visits in Kenya. The outreach Programme delivers surgical interventions to patients with specific surgical problems such as obstetric fistula, genitourinary problems, and congenital and acquired defects including deformities and disabilities caused by cleft lip or palate, burns, injuries, leprosy and polio affecting the very poor and disadvantaged. These types of surgeries are performed in Centres of Excellence, which include national or local hospitals that have been developed to provide these services and have special facilities and specially trained staff. Developing Centres of Excellence for various conditions has become a major focus area for the Outreach Programme. This is done with a view to build local capacity, ensure quality of services and improve accessibility to health care. The specific objectives of the Programme are: 1. Strengthen the capacity of health care systems to deliver quality clinical and diagnostic services; 2. Deliver quality clinical and diagnostic services to under-served communities in Africa; and 3. Integrate specialist outreach services with community Programmes 4. Generate evidence to inform best practice and policy. The principle beneficiaries of the Kenya Specialist Outreach Programme are poor disadvantaged patients living in remote rural areas of eastern Africa, together with their families, and the communities in which they live. Additional beneficiaries are the specialists, health workers and technical staff of the hospitals visited by the Programme. It is estimated that 20 million people living in the rural parts of eastern Africa covered by the services indirectly benefit from the Programme.
