1. Organization Background

iDE (International Development Enterprises) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending poverty. With over 40 years of experience, iDE is a pioneer in market-based development. Our work within agriculture, sanitation, climate change resilience, and gender equality stands out because we don’t simply provide handouts. Instead, iDE believes in powering small-scale entrepreneurs and building robust market ecosystems that lay the groundwork for low-income and marginalized people to prosper on their own terms. iDE has almost 1,300 global staff and offices in 10 countries across Africa, Asia, and Central America.

iDE established its first country program in Bangladesh in 1983. Today, it’s the longest-standing NGO specializing in market systems in Bangladesh. Our diverse portfolio spans agricultural markets, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); renewable energy; and climate-smart technologies.

2. Project Background

Scaling up Sanitation Marketing Systems (SanMarkS II) in Bangladesh, is a 42-month sanitation access project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and UNICEF and implemented by iDE, which seeks to strengthen market systems around sanitation access to the poor and disadvantaged by creating meaningful linkages between both private and public sector actors and Latrine Entrepreneurs in rural Bangladesh to support a sustainable and valuable supply chain to ensure improved sanitation.

The SanMarkS II Project sets out across 35 project districts in Bangladesh on a mission to improve the health and wellbeing of an estimated 4.5 million people living in 1.2 million households, through the increased demand for equitable use of quality, well maintained, clean sanitation facilities and system strengthening. Till date 500,000+ improved latrines have been sold by more than 2,700 latrine entrepreneurs in the project.
