Thanks to all who joined the webinar on integrity for CWIS.
We had a interesting discussion and it was useful to consider how integrity and the CWIS framework actually overlap and reinforce each other.
Some key takeaways:

• CWIS is a powerful and useful framework – it makes it possible to reframe sanitation in a positive and innovative manner, without stigma. Its flexibility and focus on principles, rather than solutions, make it particularly adaptable.
• It is however not straightforward to implement. It requires long-term commitment and investment. Above all it requires new ways of thinking and doing sanitation work, along with adequate new capacity and dedicated people working collaboratively across the sector.
• Integrity is an important component of CWIS work and is embedded in CWIS functions (particularly under accountability, resource planning, and management). It is especially needed to:
  • define clear responsibilities for all stakeholders and build accountability along the entire sanitation value chain;
  • ensure that poor integrity and shadow systems don’t undermine impressive developments in regulatory work;
  • safeguard available resources and attract new ones;
  • build community trust and engagement, ensuring acceptability.
