By 2012, 75 percent of rural Cambodians lacked access to improved sanitation, and 66 percent practiced open defecation. Though open defecation rates are highest among the poorest rural Cambodians at 86 percent, they are still quite high even among the richest at 32 percent (CSES, 2011). Lack of access to sanitation imposes significant economic and social costs on rural Cambodians, from higher child mortality due to diarrhea, other fecal-borne diseases, to stunted growth of children. In Cambodia, extensive previous experience with sanitation marketing approaches illustrates there is strong household demand for sanitation and the domestic sanitation market is capable of meeting it. At the same time, challenges remain in reaching low-income households that do not have the cash to meet upfront payment costs to purchase sanitation products. 2014-12-18T21:03:40Z 2014-12-18T21:03:40Z 2014-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/09/20336897/making-toilets-more-affordable-cambodias-poor-through-microfinance http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20803 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief East Asia and Pacific Cambodia
