I have dug up the Rapid Market assessment carried out by TEECs which may also be of interest.

One part which caught me eye states

Currently there are 74,415 latrines that need upgrading or replacing in the LIAs alone; and every year there are 3,500 more required. This translates to a potential market to the tune of between US$2.6 million and US$4.5 million depending on the type of latrine considered. On the other hand, the potential market for pit emptying in the LIAs is estimated to range from US$1.8 million to US$9.5 million depending on whether mechanized or manual emptying is used, manual emptying being more lucrative. The effective demand for the sanitation services, however, will initially come from the 21% (rich and middle class) who can afford the services straight away. The demand will eventually grow with sustained awareness campaigns as to how the poor home owners (55%) can manage to build modern latrines with financing arrangements
