The course was conducted on all the seven modules in the Training Manual on Water Integrity to participants. Participants learnt to understand corruption and anti-corruption in the context of water governance (Modules 1 and 2), diagnose and identify corruption risks (Module 3) and promote transparency, accountability and integrity in water (Modules 4, 5 and 6). The importance of all three activities in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) was highlighted. The participants were given all the training materials for all the modules.
Several tools and actions that can promote water integrity were presented and discussed. These ranged from raising citizens voice and citizen’s complaints mechanisms, promoting transparent procurements systems, access to information and community participation, access to budgets and participatory budgeting, public expenditure tracking and integrity pacts. It is hoped that the participants having learnt to identify corruption and anticorruption, being able to diagnose corruption risk areas, and being trained on measures for strengthening transparency, accountability and participation in water governance, they can apply these measures for improved water resources management.
