PATH Safe Water Project What actions are most likely to accelerate widespread adoption of point-of-use (POU) water treatment and storage devices by low-income populations and sustain POU treatment by them over time? Market Based Solution Objectives: • Catalyze and pilot commercial marketstrategies through partners • Analyze the opportunity and best approaches for scale and sustainability of what was piloted • Improve HWTS products and provision • Share learning and tools for replication and scale For more about HWTS products: google WHO HWTS Network

  6. Example: The MFI* Aggregator Model PATH role: • Identify qualified MFIs, share learning and introduce to HWTS manufacturers • Bear certain costs and risks associated with testing the model Current Landscape Gap Analysis Resulting Model • MFIs and HWTS manufacturer’s sales forces leverage the MFIs’ established relationships with consumers to market HWTS. • The MFI aggregator model is a flexible concept and applies to both types of microfinance predominant in India, Grameen and SHG. • Various MFI models have engaged the BOP. • Robust and socially-oriented MFI’s enjoy strong relationships with their borrowers, the ability to assemble them on a regular basis, and a core competence in lending. • HWTS manufacturers lack regular access to BOP consumers. • Durable product adoption rates appeared dependent on access to financing. • Sustainability requires efficient distribution, sales and service with relatively few actors * Microfinance Institution
