The CBS Alliance was formed in November 2016. It is a coalition of Container Based Sanitation practitioners around the world with extensive experience in developing and providing CBS services.The founders of the CBSA are Clean Team (Ghana), Loowatt (Madagascar), Sanivation and Sanergy (Kenya), SOIL (Haiti) and x-runner (Peru). Groups affiliated with CBSA include Sanitation First (India), MoSan, re.source sanitation, Non-Water Sanitation and WSUP.Objectives:While we operate different models and follow varied approaches, common objectives brought us together as a group: To extend collective impact – By speaking with a common voice and working together we will expand global impact through improved service provision by members and increased responsible adoption of CBS by institutions outside of the alliance. To promote knowledge sharing and learning – we will share best practices, common principles and lessons learned to increase the capacity of CBS to deliver sustainable sanitation services. To enhance legitimacy by creating a set of common CBS guidelines and standards – we will use the learning to develop best practice guidance for all sanitation providers working on CBS. To enable scale – we will encourage the growth of new CBS services through knowledge transfer, advocacy and recommending structures for service providers to gain appropriate investment and to convince governments and multilaterals that CBS is an operationally and financially effective approach. To create partnerships – we will develop commercial and operational partnerships that drive product development and innovation in CBS services.We believe we can be more effective at accomplishing progress collectively compared to each of us operating in isolation.
