Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

This document is part of a set of three resource documents included in the Integrity Management toolbox for Water service Providers (WsPs):
This description of WsP Integrity risks provides detailed descriptions of the most common integrity risks for WsPs, including examples of “red flags” (warning signs indicating potential lack of integrity in a WsP) and concrete examples from different public sources for each risk. the integrity risks are organised in six categories, which are oriented along the departments / work areas commonly found in WsPs:
Most of the integrity risks at the level of WsPs are generic and comparable across the globe. A handful of country-specific risks do, however, exist. Most of these country-specific risks are likely to be found in the risk area “Governance, management and controls” and
are for example linked to the political and regulatory framework, the governance of WsPs, or the roles and responsibilities of other water sector institutions.
