Why Anti-corruption in the water Sector? • Criticism of the “traditional” approach to fighting corruption • Basic service delivery - one of the areas where corruption mostly occurs • There is a lot of work still to be done: • Lack of sectoral assessments • Little systemisation of good practices and lessons learned • Few programmes addressing the issue • The value added of addressing corruption in the water sector • Utilization of sector expertise and AC expertise • Improved service delivery • More transparent and accountable governments
UNDP’s Approach • Corruption a major bottleneck to the achievement of MDGs – e.g. access to water • Sectoral approach to accelerate MDGs achievement • UNDP’s sectoral studies in education, health and water sectors • Putting theory into practice: launch of UNDP’s sectoral initiative
