Methodology

An Annotated Water Integrity Scan is conducted in a one-day workshop by a group of eight to twelve people familiar with the specific water sub-sector in review (for example, water service delivery, WASH, WASH in schools, or water resource management). Using simple definitions and criteria, participants score and annotate critical risk areas on Transparency, Accountability, Participation and Inclusion to then agree on priorities for action.
