Socialist Republic of Vietnam Scaling Up Rural SanitationThis report concerns two streams of
 Technical Assistance provided by the World Bank Water and
 Sanitation Program (WSP) to the Government of Vietnam. They
 are: strengthening the enabling environment, capacity
 building systems and evidence-based learning and lesson
 sharing. Strengthening demand creation and supply chain
 development together these TAs make up a support program to
 assist the Government of Vietnam, particularly the Ministry
 of Health (MOH) in accelerating progress on sanitation under
 the third National Target Program on Rural Water Supply and
 Sanitation (NTP3). WSP has supported the government to
 improve the enabling environment for sanitation service
 delivery; strengthen rural sanitation supply chains;
 generate demand for improved sanitation; and inform service
 delivery models through knowledge and learning. The TAs
 began in Dec 2012 and are due to end in Jun 2016. This
 report documents the results and lessons learned from the
 TA, and makes recommendations for future activities in
 support of rural sanitation.

Sanitation Finance in Rural CambodiaThis document presents the findings of a study on sanitation finance in Cambodia conducted for the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The overall objective of the assignment was to consider sustainable sanitation financing options with a focus on promoting access for the poorest. This guidance note contains an introduction on sanitation financing and subsidies, stating the cases for subsidies as well as some of their practical pitfalls. The study used data (as of late 2009) from two case studies of rural sanitation finance in Cambodia to illustrate the practical issues, sup-plemented by preliminary data from two sanitation marketing projects. The study also examined the potential use and effectiveness of (hardware) subsidies, conditional cash transfers (CCTs), and other financing approaches relevant for sanitation improvement. The document ends with recommendations for improved sanitation finance, including practical suggestions for sanitation programs in Cambodia. These recommendations bear particular relevance for the ADB's Second Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project, which commenced in 2010.
