New publication: About Corruption and Transparency in the Water and Sanitation Sector

Corruption undermines water and sanitation services. It is those without a voice, the poor, who are systematically deprived by corrupt systems. This paper is a brief overview of issues, approaches and information. The second half of the paper provides entry to the rapidly growing literature on corruption, transparency and honesty in the WASH sector. It is hoped that you, the reader, will find this a useful resource which will lead to further reading, learning about experience and research and, finally, to action promoting transparency, honesty and preventing corruption in the sector.
