Water Integrity Network (WIN)

The Water Integrity Network was formed in 2006 to stimulate anti-corruption activities in the water sector worldwide and opens its membership to individuals that view anti-corruption measures as central to equitable and sustainable development, economic efficiency and social equity. Its founders are the International Water and Sanitation Centre (IRC), Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), Swedish Water House (SWH), Transparency International (TI), and the Water and Sanitation Program-Africa (WSP-Africa). WIN promotes solutions-oriented action and coalition-building between civil society, the private and public sectors, media and governments. WIN advocates a wide range of anti-corruption activities locally, nationally and globally. Specifically, WIN members foster:

Awareness and deeper understanding of corruption
Diagnose the extent and map the breadth
Identify concerns and issues
Research and disseminate information, methodologies and best practices
Promote practical tools and interventions
Develop monitoring mechanisms
Encourage individuals to coordinate and collaborate
Build capacity

Transparency International hosts the WIN secretariat while a multi-stakeholder steering committee advises the network and its secretariat and supports fundraising.
