00:00:37
pleased to be here with you this morning uh so
00:00:40
i'm asked to present to use the toilet bork audition today
00:00:44
so let me start with the problem uh last year the un estimated
00:00:49
that forty six percent of the got population is still lacks axes to saved
00:00:53
sanitation that means no axes to save doughnuts or knocks is the tallest idle the same
00:00:59
report also estimated that in order to achieve the twenty thirty goals we still need that
00:01:04
to multiply the core rate of progress by four and moreover it has always been taught
00:01:10
that the solution to the sanitation progress problem is mainly in the hands of the governments
00:01:16
because the solutions aren't necessarily expensive and can be very complex
00:01:21
so all the tony network coalition that i'm representing
00:01:24
today was born to challenge this all the functions first
00:01:28
by demonstrating that businesses and the private sector can
00:01:32
substantially support the government's air force to achieve sanitation goals
00:01:37
but also to demonstrate that unsustainable sanitation economy can be
00:01:41
created and contrived you lower and middle income countries saul
00:01:47
how are we doing that the coalition facilitates
00:01:51
private sector engagement to four pillars of work first
00:01:56
or accelerator program that invites growth stage i'm sanitation it's open norse every year i'm
00:02:02
provides them with mentors shape partnership opportunities but also access to capital through these work
00:02:09
second we work with investor community with you in the room to explore
00:02:14
innovative investment make any sense and uh solutions to have to draw the innovators
00:02:19
businesses third we also ron be spoke market development projects with our inter
00:02:26
printers to how their role in new markets or a expanded their business lines
00:02:32
sorry and finally uh we also are engaged
00:02:35
in top leadership we we build communication advocacy strategies
00:02:40
to be able to share this story and insights
00:02:42
from the business community we're engaging with um more broadly
00:02:48
so seems or foundation in twenty fifteen or
00:02:51
membership has grown from fifteen to seventeen members and
00:02:55
what we have been able to support lot more than fifty answer printers from the sanitation economy
00:03:00
they have been able to access more than thirty million dollars in investments
00:03:06
or model is unique because he's been is is led by businesses i'm
00:03:11
currently we are and a we have a and use that as a run
00:03:15
out of from geneva but we work from a membership fee more though as
00:03:19
well or membership response the small medium and large companies from the sanitation space
00:03:25
but we also have members from the governmental sector and angie also the local and the global level
00:03:32
all of these partners have fully embedded into four areas of work that i describe it before
00:03:37
so not only are unique in the way we work and how we do it but we also have a global mandate
00:03:43
the coalition currently has activities in more than forty eight
00:03:46
twenty countries a lot of them are right now are taking
00:03:50
place in africa and india but not quickly expanding the
00:03:54
or in other areas of southeast asia and in latin america
00:03:58
and despite the call we can withstand any last year we had substantial impact more than
00:04:04
two point two million people where which they he weeded solutions provided by the sanitation interpret
00:04:10
norse within our network and interpret norse who participated in the accelerator program ninety seven percent
00:04:16
of them graduated with partnership or investment opportunities
00:04:20
of multinational corporations that are part of our network
00:04:25
these work is wrong about it these global and engage the alex here another
00:04:30
critics in the room and of course in close partnership with a full membership
00:04:37
