Stockholm (ENS): Corruption is draining the water sector, says the Water Integrity Network, a new organization launched today to fight the dirty business. Five water organizations have joined forces with the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International to form the new organization, announced today at World Water Week in Stockholm. The Water Integrity Network (WIN) intends to raise awareness and facilitate effective anti-corruption actions on the ground, from influencing national policies to community initiatives involving the private and public sector.
