This book comes out at a very opportune time when the sector is struggling with sanitation marketing that is considered an organic next step for rural communities that have been declared open defecation free. Besides, this publication comes in to address the gaps that face the peri-urban spaces that are facing population explosion and require innovative ways of dealing with mostly non-sewered sanitation services. This guide/manual was developed as part of a training package to support business development skills training for local sanitation entrepreneurs in Kenya. Financial and technical support was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Kenya integrated water and sanitation (KIWASH) project. KIWASH was a five year (2015-2020) project implemented by the Development Alternatives Incorporation (DAI) across nine counties. One of the key goals of KIWASH was to help trigger and activate demand for low cost affordable sanitation technologies in rural and low income communities. The overall objective of this manual is to equip sanitation specialists and public resource persons with the basic concepts and tools, to facilitate entrepreneurship and financial literacy training for start-up sanitation entrepreneurs in rural communities. Specifically, this manual is designed to help participants: 1) Learn the basic concepts of entrepreneurship and characteristics of successful entrepreneurs; 2) Learn and practice essential marketing techniques for sanitation products and services; 3) Develop money management competencies necessary to succeed as a small-scale entrepreneur; 4) Build necessary leadership and management skills to grow successful sanitation enterprises. Overall, the guide/manual is useful in guiding implementation of sanitation marketing projects, and provides concise content for nurturing and building the capacity of local sanitation enterprises/entrepreneurs. Improved business performance by these businesses means timely response to demand from households. This book is a toolkit which incorporates a Training Guide/Manual as well as a Workbook for entrepreneurs.

This Trainer's Guide takes trainers step by step through the setting up of a 40-hour course using the materials in the book to improve Your Business Basics. Few publications are simple and clear enough to be easily understood by people who have not been exposed to business training, and yet still communicate the basic management skills required by entrepreneurs to run small businesses successfully. Improve Your Business Basics attempts to fill that gap. The underlying idea that improvements originate from active and creative thinking by entrepreneurs themselves is developed in the book to encourage and motivate entrepreneurs to improve their businesses. It forms an integral part of the Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) programme which, in turn, is part of the ILO's International Small Enterprise Programme. The SIYB programme has been designed to provide a sustainable and cost-effective method of reaching substantial numbers of small-scale entrepreneurs and provide them with the practical management skills needed for profitablity in a competitive environment. The SIYB programme provides individuals and institutions with a comprehensive and inter-related set of training materials. Aimed at a variety of target groups, it deals with various topics related to small-enterprise development such as training, business counseling, monitoring and evaluation, and networking. Small-enterprise development institutions in more than 70 countries have used the SIYB programme. The new international edition draws on more than a decade of operational experience.
