Transparency International´s Global Corruption Report 2008: Corruption in the Water Sector

Transparency International and the United Nations Development Programme cordially invite you to the launch of Transparency International´s Global Corruption Report 2008: Corruption in the Water Sector.

More than 1 billion people live with inadequate access to safe drinking water, with dramatic consequences for lives, livelihoods and development. Transparency International’s Global Corruption Report 2008 demonstrates in its thematic section that corruption is a cause and catalyst for this water crisis, which is likely to be further exacerbated by climate change. Corruption affects all aspects of the water sector, from water resources management to drinking water services, irrigation and hydropower. In this timely report, scholars and professionals document the impact of corruption in the sector, with case studies from all around the world offering practical suggestions for reform.
