People pay when they use the facilities that are built and managed by NGOs, entrepreneurs or local government.
Good approach if systems are kept clean. Can quickly enhance coverage. A wide range of approaches are existing including public-private arrangement with users paying per visit but also some with monthly contributions.

A good option to guarantee quality and back-up support, is to use a franchise concept. Sulab International has developed 4000 "pay and use" community toilets serving more than 11 million people daily (http://web.mit.edu/urbanupgrading/ waterandsanitation/resources/caseExamples/sanitation-services.html ). Pay-and-use public toilets for crowded areas and slums, without space or funds for latrine construction. Also for transient populations such as bus stops. Managed by local government, NGOs or entrepreneurs. This includes women groups jointly developing sanitation facilities (http://www.irc.nl/page/7706). High potential particularly in densely populated slums.
