Annotated Water Integrity Scan (WIN, 2011B)

The Annotated Water Integrity Scan (AWIS) is a tool designed to quickly assess integrity in the water sector through a one-day multi-stakeholder workshop. AWIS was developed by the Water Integrity Network together with the IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre. The tool looks at the three pillars of integrity: Transparency, Accountability and Participation (TAP). AWIS assesses TAP for five risk areas through scores that are complemented with annotations. The annotations are qualitative, to explain the scores based on the dialogue among workshop participants with knowledge about the water sector and anti-corruption legislation. This scan is also important as it facilitates the exchange of information and perceptions through dialogue. This creates a basis for prioritization of water integrity action.
