Dear all,
We are preparing the launch of the Water Integrity Global Outlook report on integrity for water and sanitation finance. Sanitation financing makes a lot of integrity issues and risks that come up in the report quite clear.
Why is sanitation underfunded, why are 'soft components' ignored or underfunded even more, and what can we do about it? How can we design better subsidy systems? How can we reduce risks in sanitation system planning?
The report point to integrity failures and corruption as contributors to the 'funding gap' and highlights ways to develop anti-corruption and integrity strategies for water and sanitation.
We need more insight on how to make this work specifically in sanitation. Should you have case studies or input, we would be eager to hear more.

In the meantime, you are welcome to join our launch event:
