WIN Regional Workshops 2007

In 2007, WIN funded a series of Regional Workshops on transparency and accountability in the water sector. They have been held in Latin America, South Asia and the Francophone and Anglophone regions of West Africa. The workshops have focused on various approaches for identifying and combating the lack of transparency and accountability within the sectoral, institutional and community levels and have involved a wide range of actors across the public, private, civil-society and donor communities.

Five WIN Members Attend Action Planning Workshop in The Hague

(September 21-23, 2009) With support from the Water Integrity Network, The IRC held a 2nd training course on Transparency, Accountability and Integrity in the Water Sector. Following the training course, participants were invited to attend a WIN-facilitated Action Planning Workshop. This offered the diverse group the opportunity to take their strengthened capacities forward and plan concrete first steps to preventing water-sector corruption in their countries. Five WIN members were partially sponsored by WIN to attend these two events.

SOMALIA: A shepherd seeks water for his goat at a large catchment area outside the village of Isdorto in the southern Bakol Region. The catchment has been empty for 70 days. Many livestock are dying, and the nearest water point is 25 km away. The water basin has dried up only three times in the past 80 years. The last time was in 1992, Somalia’s worst drought in recent history.
