Strengthening interlinked marketing exchangesystems to improve water and sanitation ininformal settlements of Kigali, Rwanda
2020
Inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is a significant health burden in
Rwanda. Although current approaches for improving water and sanitation provision
to enhance health outcomes are often narrowly associated with monetary exchange,
analysis of two informal settlements in Kigali (Gitega and Kimisagara) shows that
households attempt to meet their water and sanitation needs through four interlinked
exchange systems (market-based, command-based, culturally determined and
non-market-based exchange systems). By focusing on existing social relations and
exchange systems, sanitation practitioners may be able to foster and strengthen
these interlinked water and sanitation marketing exchange systems embedding in
the local context and local capabilities, and as a consequence improve the lives of the
low-income communities of informal settlements.
