Water Integrity Global Outlook 3: Integrity for Water and Sanitation Finance – Global Launch

Reaching SDG 6—universal access to clean water and sanitation—requires a three-fold increase in investments and a sharp focus on improving governance and management across the sector. Yet, in practice, achieving this is far from straightforward. A key obstacle to success remains largely unaddressed: corruption. This pervasive issue is a major driver of inefficiency, mismanagement, inequity, high costs, and poor performance in water and sanitation services.

The Water Integrity Global Outlook 2024 (WIGO 2024) offers a timely and critical analysis of this challenge, shedding light on the deep-rooted issues stemming from corruption and integrity weaknesses in sector financing. From the planning and allocation of resources to income collection and expenditure tracking, WIGO 2024 provides a comprehensive roadmap for action on integrity.

By addressing the challenges head-on, with honesty and collaboration, we can ensure that investments in water and sanitation lead to sustainable, equitable outcomes for all. Join us to launch this vital report and learn how you can contribute to a future where water integrity is the norm, not the exception.
