The winner of our photo competition on integrity and wastewater management is The River with White Scars, by Sudipto Das — a stunning example, taken on the banks of the Yamuna River, of how poor wastewater governance can affect our lives and environment.
Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all the photo competition participants for their beautiful and thought-provoking contributions.

Updates from the Network
INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT FOR UTILITIES IN BANGLADESH
The Chittagong Water Suppy and Sewerage Authority (CWASA), which serves a city of 7 million people, is preparing to work with the integrity management toolbox for utilities to strengthen its business model from an integrity perspective and promote good governance for better service and reduced risks.
The Khulna Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (KWASA) has already led the way in using the integrity management toolbox to support an integrity-oriented change management process. This video by Transparency International Bangladesh documents some of the changes KWASA has introduced with the toolbox, and their successes.
