A nail-biting game of integrity intrigue for 2 – 3 small teams!
The Trillion Dollar Question game premiered at World Water Week 2018!
How effectively are governments spending water and sanitation budgets? Where are systems vulnerable for mismanagement and how can integrity contribute to better financial performance and accessing new financing modalities? Where are trade-offs between domestic and donor accountability and how can they be managed? How can donors better link governance and water programmes?
This game proposes tricky scenarios – and potential solutions – across different phases of project implementation.
