Our work
The Water Integrity Network is the leading global research and advocacy partnership dedicated to clean water governance.
WIN focuses on corruption risk prevention and awareness raising, knowledge sharing and technical assistance for integrity since 2006.
We champion integrity to improve water and sanitation management and service delivery for all, including the poorest and most marginalised.
What is water integrity
Water integrity means using powers and resources ethically and honestly for equitable and sustainable water and sanitation services. In practice, we can build integrity in the water and sanitation sectors with Transparency, Accountability, Participation, and Anti-corruption (TAPA).
There are many ways to prevent corrupton and reduce integrity failures in water and sanitation: from openly publishing plans and budgets to working in partnership with those affected by a decision, from monitoring budgets, contracts, and works, to holding decision-makers accountable.

Water and Sanitation Sector Finance
We have no time to waste, no water to waste, no money to waste. In the face of the challenges of the climate crisis, what will it take to ensure the water and sanitation sectors effectively use and attract financing, to realise SDG6?
Read WIGO3 to find out: Where is the money? What integrity risks threaten it? How do we use existing funds better? What can indivual organisations do? What role for civil society and regulators in ensuring accountability?

Urban Water and Sanitation
Cities need clean water and sanitation, and clean water and sanitation need integrity - for city residents, city resilience, and city reputation. It’s essential.
Read WIGO2 to learn what mayors, service providers, regulators, civil society organisations, and funders can do to understand and address risks related to petty corruption, procurement, sextortion, service exclusion and poor quality WASH services in informal settlements.
