The fund initially focused on innovative sanitation solutions to increase support for fecal sludge management through non- networked (non-sewered) sanitation and septage management. The focus has now shifted to a more holistic approach through the citywide, inclusive sanitation framework to increase access to appropriate sanitation systems, whether sewered or non-sewered, centralized or decentralized, including the required support to increase knowledge and capacity and improve governance.
