Regional Water Integrity ToT - 7 to 11 April 2014, Angra dos Reis, Brazil.
A regional Training of Trainers course as part of a strategy to anchor capacities in Latin America, strengthen a critical mass of expertise, and through them facilitate a cascade effect which will generate new trainings for different target groups was identified as priority activity to promote water integrity in Latin America, as part of the mapping report developed by LA-WETnet and partners in 2013.
Countries of the region are adopting international anti-corruption instruments. Most of them have introduced good governance standards (transparency, participation, accountability and access to justice) and integrated water resources management as a management model. Nevertheless, levels of implementation differ, so in countries with a “hint” of governance the effect of commitment tends to be only “cosmetic”. This is extremely harmful because it turns the fight against corruption into a speech devoid of any real impact, and people seeking to eradicate the scourge of corruption tend to lose interest. Hence, it is crucial not only to participate in the promotion and adoption of anti-corruption policies but also to devise follow-up mechanisms for implementation processes, such as audits and institutional benchmarking.
The primary objective of the training of trainers is to prepare for change through increasing knowledge and awareness on integrity, accountability, and anti-corruption in water. After completing the training course, the participants should have:
a) A conceptual grounding in the area of integrity, accountability and anti-corruption in water, its drivers and impacts on water as well as on poverty reduction and sustainable development;
b) An overview of tools and methodologies to promote improved integrity and accountability in water regarding their applicability in Latin America;
c) Examples of good practices relating to the promotion of integrity, accountability and anti-corruption in water.
The training of trainers is a collaborative activity of LA-WETnet, Cap-Net Brazil, UNDP Water Governance Facility at SIWI, and UNDP Regional Office in Panama. A maximum of 25 participants (15 from regional countries and 10 from Brazil) will take part in this course.
