This paper draws on the general experience of the authors in development and the water supply sector as well as the accumulated experience of Transparency International (TI) in fighting corruption. As the background paper to the key-note speech of the representative of a NGO, it aims at a broader audience. It analyses why the water supply and sanitation (WSS) sectors are particularly prone to corruption, with heavy damage accumulating over time. The paper then looks for reasons why corruption in the water sector is relatively poorly analysed and not subject to appropriate policy dialogue and public attention. This, for the future, is seen as an opportunity. Additional opportunities and barriers are described, leading to an action plan for addressing corruption in the WSS sectors.
Key Words: Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS); Corruption; Transparency International (TI); Transparency; Accountability; Governance; Procurement; Civil Society Organizations; Global Corruption Report; Water Utilities; Non-Revenue Water (NRW).
