Market-Based Sanitation (MBS) sanitation programming approach which addresses market challenges to create sustainable sanitation services for all. This PDF-version includes both parts of a two-part online course from IRC-WASH's WASH Systems academy. The course integrates the latest global thinking and was developed by IRC WASH with support from USAID Transform WASH in collaboration with Water For People and Population Services International (PSI). In 2024, the course was refreshed with support from USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) funded PRO-WASH & SCALE activity. The course also introduces a revised MBS conceptual framework which guides each course module. The course aims to strengthen learners' understanding of and ability to apply MBS by understanding the market, market actors, and enabling environment needed to foster strong demand, supply, and support for sanitation services.
