Water Integrity : Core contribution to the Water Integrity Network (WIN)


Water Integrity and fight against corruption allow for effective governance in the water sector. Water integrity is a prerequisite for the efficient achievement of safe water and adequate sanitation for all (SDG 6). The support to WIN’s strategy contributes to increase transparency, accountability and participation in the water sector at global, regional and local level. WIN has developed a set of tools to diagnose corruption and to improve governance in the water sector. Through WIN’s advocacy work at global, regional and local level, and implementation of country initiatives in Kenya, Benin and Bangladesh capacities to assess the status of governance and prepare for action are strengthened. Right holders are empowered to claim better water management, equitable and sustained access to water and sanitation, and to hold duty bearers accountable.

Contesto Water is a very scarce resource and fundamental for sustainable development. Around 52% of the world’s population projected 9.7 billion people will live in water-stressed regions by 2050.  2.3 billion of  people are still excluded from safe water supply, sanitation and hygiene. The investments of public and private sector have been shrinking in the sector due to competition with other sectors. The voice of most vulnerable communities who lack access to water and sanitiation facilities is often neglected. This makes the water sector particular prone to corruption which is both, a cause and a consequence of poor governance in the water sector. 
Obiettivi WIN’s overall goal is to increase integrity and reduce corruption in the water sector, so as to contribute to more efficient, equitable and effective processes to attain SDG 6 and fulfil the human rights to water and sanitation.
