SWEEP is a compelling model that addresses the current market failure for providing adequate sanitation solutions in urban cities ... Based upon the track record to date and the interest and demand from the public and private sector players involved, the Skoll Foundation believes in the potential for SWEEP to create systemic change in the sanitation landscape of urban Bangladesh and is proud to support WSUP in its effort to scale and replicate this program.
