You can apply to join as either an affiliate or a member:

A member is any organization, public or private, actively implementing CBS in areas lacking adequate sanitation services with demonstrated experience and reaching over 100 households.

An affiliate is any institution that is committed to CBSA’s vision and mission. For instance you may:

  • be a nascent CBS institution aspiring to membership (i.e. progress to membership once you have scaled up to servicing 100 toilets);
  • have relevant demonstrated or nascent experience; for example, in product development or service provision or as a service provider that safely contains, disposes of, tracks, and reports on waste;have a focus on sanitation as a sponsor (including donors, investors, and governments);
  • be a research organization that could serve as a knowledge base or provide advice.
