Integrity in water governance

Corruption squanders resources and impedes implementation of agreed policy goals for the common good. Combatting it requires structural approaches such as institutional reforms, not simply the removal of offenders. Building integrity as a core component of governance systems enables institutions to limit and prevent corruption and manage resources more effectively.

In this Issue Sheet the WGF explores the integrity challenges for the water sector. It also outlines the WGF activities related to the topic.
