Partnering with Government with Dickson Ochieng, Pamela Bundi and Ibrahim Basweti

Water and sanitation services are often seen as a public good, so the line between public and private responsibility is blurred. In many regions, the WASH businesses face many restrictions, such as regulated tariffs, licences and heavy taxes. In many countries, legal frameworks, policies and incentives for water and sanitation put limits on the ability of entrepreneurs to operate in the sector.

On this episode, Andy Narracott talks to Dickson Ochieng, Director of Government Relations at Sanivation, about their pioneering work partnering with cities to help them safely manage their waste. Then he speaks to Pamela Bundi, country coordinator for the FINISH programme in Kenya and Ibrahim Basweti, Principle Public Health Officer with the Ministry of Health in Kenya.

Finally, Raphael Graser, Water & Hygiene Unit Manager with Antenna Foundation shares his takeaways from the discussion. 

This podcast is brought to you by the Sanitation and Water Entrepreneurship Pact, a collaboration of organisations that helps entrepreneurs deliver basic access to water and sanitation services for all.
