Who we are
By promoting integrity and addressing corruption in water and sanitation, together we can transform water and sanitation management and service delivery to reach everyone, including the most marginalised.
We work as a global research and advocacy partnership, focusing on:
-
awareness raising for integrity,
-
training and knowledge sharing on clean water governance,
-
technical assistance to water and sanitation organisations, to assess integrity risks and prevent corruption.
Join and support us to ensure transparency, accountability, participation, and anti-corruption shake up the water and sanitation sectors for good.
"The challenges facing the water sector are immense and no single actor can solve them alone. Only through concerted efforts by all stakeholders—including governments, public institutions, businesses, private organisations, and civil society—can these challenges be confronted.
WIN invites you to join this journey, and to promote a culture of integrity in pursuit of a socially just world in which everyone has access to decent water and sanitation services."
