The Fund aims to stimulate and support local actions to fight corruption in the water sector, and thereby reduce poverty. It is targeted at Civil Society Organisation (CSO) members of the Water Integrity Network (WIN) working in developing and transition countries. Individual WIN Members may affiliate with a member CSO to apply.

In 2008 WIN plans to award five (5) Small Grants up to € 20,000 (US$ 29,600) each, and ten (10) Micro grants of up to € 2,000 (US$ 2,960) each to support local actions. The grants will be competitively awarded based on a transparent evaluation of applications received.

The Water Integrity Network (WIN), formed in 2006, stimulates anti-corruption activities in the water sector locally, nationally and globally. It promotes solutions-oriented action and coalition-building between civil society, the private and public sectors, media and governments. WIN membership is free of charge.
