Clean water needs clean governance

Water and sanitation are vital yet left  vulnerable to poor integrity, corruption, and malpractice.

 

The Water Integrity Network advocates for integrity  at the heart of water management and service delivery, for all.

Water integrity?
It's essential

Corruption and integrity issues happen everywhere and in all sectors, but in water and sanitation, the impact is particularly dramatic, for communities, economies, and ecosystems.

 

Corruption and integrity failures lead to ineffective water and sanitation infrastructure, unchecked pollution, unprepared service providers, and whole communities left with unsafe water, or no water at all. 

 

We cannot reach any of the SDGs without fixing the leaks and systematic weaknesses in the water and sanitation sectors. Business as usual is no longer an option. Stand with us for change.

    How can we justify exclusion from service of millions of city residents when water and sanitation are human rights? Why are residents of informal settlements often paying far more for water than residents of wealthy neighbourhoods? It's time we rethink service delivery to really leave no one behind.
