IWA is accountable to the public, communities and Users that it serves. IWA has a framework with well-defined structures through which it is accountable for its operations. It has the responsibility and accountability for taking decisions in a transparent manner, and is committed to presenting clear reports to its stakeholders, public and it users. This would be demonstrated by clear and up-to-date statement accountability for this purpose .
The world’s poor come into contact with markets and companies as producers, entrepreneurs, neighbours or consumers on a daily basis.
