Market Based Programming, what is it?
It is taking into account the whole supply chain of our services (water, soaps, filters, toilets, trucks of shit or water...) and see where we can intervene to strengthen or boost the provision of these services to the affected population using market based solutions.
This can be translated for example by :
- distributing vouchers for people to go and buy their own hygiene products...
- provide training and equipment for water tankers
- Partner with the local water agency to upgrade the networks
- support a soap or chlorine production plant
