GWP applauds the Report on Corruption in the Water Sector
GWP Chair Letitia A Obeng attended the launch of the Global Corruption Report 2008: Corruption in the Water Sector in Washington DC on June 26.

At the launch, Letitia A Obeng congratulated Transparency International and its partners on producing this very useful report which includes many lessons and case studies for our use. She said it would become a "reference document" or "bible" for water professionals around the world.

- The second chapter which focuses on corruption and water resources management and is co-authored by our TEC Chair, Roberto Lenton. Water governance has been a key theme in GWPs work over the last few years and GWP partners and network members will be able to draw on the report for our work, Letitia A Obeng says.

The GWP Chair also used the opportunity of the launch to inform the Management of the Water Integrity Network (WIN) that GWP is joining WIN. A formal announcement will be made in Stockholm during World Water Week in August.
