Case Studies: Challenges for Anti-corruption in the Water Sector in Africa

LESSONS FROM THE FIRST AFRICA WATER INTEGRITY SUMMIT IN LUSAKA

Water integrity ambassadors from 22 countries in Africa met to exchange case examples and good practices at the 1st African Water Integrity Summit in Lusaka, April 29-30 2014. Their experiences have been collated in a case book, which highlights the persistence and courage needed to promote water integrity in difficult political and organizational contexts.
