IRC Symposium 2010 Theme 3 papers: Ensuring accountability
An unrecognised cost of delivering decentralised WASH services is corruption. Recently it has become more widely recognised that the WASH sector has a corruption issue it needs to confront (see Global Corruption Report, Transparency International, 2008). Access to information on sector performance is vital for financial accountability, so is strengthening systems of accountability through promoting citizens or consumer voice type activities. Here you can find all the papers from the accountability theme at IRC's 2010 symposium Pumps, Pipes and Promises.
