Assessing Integrity in the Water Sector in Tajikistan
Workshop facilitated by UNDP’s Global Programme on Democratic Governance Assessments and the UNDP Water Governance Facility
Dushanbe, 11-12 May 2010
Tajikistan is the 5th most water-rich country in the world, but only 59% of its population has access to safe drinking water (47% in the rural areas). In spite of its rich water resources, the country has the worst access to safe drinking water in Central Asia. Clearly, the problem is not one of availability – it is one of governance.
As part of ongoing efforts to enhance integrity in the water sector, the Ministry of Water Resources and Land Reclamation, together with the national anti-corruption agency, the Strategic Research Centre and research-oriented NGOs, have decided to conduct a systematic assessment of corruption risks along the service delivery chain.
Members of the ‘Advisory Group’ and the ‘Research Group’ for this assessment gathered for a two-day workshop in Dushanbe (11-12 May), facilitated by the Oslo Governance Centre and UNDP’s Water Governance Facility, to examine how similar assessments conducted in other countries could be adapted to the Tajik context (see the water integrity studies supported by the Water Integrity Network).
Session 2: Why conducting an integrity vulnerability assessment?
