The value chain (VC) system is a key way to address important sanitation technological and institutional gaps in production and service delivery (Drost et al., 2012) and could constitute a natural platform for development actions and also serve as a market systems approach to improve access to safely-managed sanitation (Springer-Heinze, 2018a). The value chain concept is used to gain a better understanding of how and where enterprises and institutions are positioned within a chain and identify opportunities and potential leverage points for improvement (Rawlins et al., 2018). Sanitation value chain (SVC) actors and/or enterprises have several interests in common and all depend on the same end-markets to be successful whereby it is necessary for them to interact with each other and the same enablers and supporters to reach the market. The SVC provides the sustainable market that enables more customers and entrepreneurs to exchange products and services, thereby increasing market depth and reducing the burden on public finance. VC also optimizes the finance, products and information flow that enterprises can identify and exploit for new opportunities and to reduce external threats (Springer-Heinze, 2018a; USAID, 2018).This book considers the sanitation value chain (SVC) to be the full range of activities that are required to bring a product and/or service from conception through the different phases of production to delivery to final consumers and disposal after use (Kaplinsky, 2000, 2002; M4P, 20 08). In a narrow sense, this includes the range of activities performed within a firm to produce a certain output (Porter, 1985), while in the broad approach, it is a complex range of activities implemented by various actors (primary and secondary producers, processors, traders, service providers) to bring products and/or services from conceptualization through chains to the sale of product and/or provision of services (M4P, 20 08). This approach does not only look at the activities implemented by a single enterprise, but also includes all its backward and forward linkages, until the products and services are linked to the end-users in an ‘integrated-functional’ system (Kaplinsky, 2000, 2002; M4P, 20 08). Thus, this concept encompasses the issues of organization and coordination, and the strategies and the power relationship of the different actors in the chain (M4P, 20 08). This, however, is different from the usual perspective of the value chain in the sanitation sector whereby the SVC is depicted as actors and businesses within the sanitation service chain (SSC) and other enterprises involved in faecal sludge and sewage management (FSM) which are aspects of the sanitation value chain (SVC) (Strande et al., 2014; W WA P, 2017). The SSC and FSM are descriptive frameworks with distinct technological steps showing the flow of sanitation service provision to end-users and do not really represent the whole picture of the sanitation value chain (SVC) (Hyun et al., 2019; Osann & Wirth, 2019). This is a restrictive use of the concept of value chain because it is focused within the SSC actors and local businesses involved in FSM activities alone, but these are just stages/levels in the sanitation value chain.
