Paragraph
Paragraph text
Research suggests that some governments have succeeded in effectively using public funding for increasing access to sanitation. For instance, Thailand achieved nearly universal access to sanitation in the late 1990s due to sustained funding over decades based on a comprehensive programme. The Government has provided subsidies through revolving funds as well as funding for specific activities, with villages having flexibility in allocating funds to those most in need.
