Established in May 2019, the Network of European Integrity and Whistleblowing Authorities (NEIWA) is a collaboration initiated by the Dutch Whistleblowing Authority.
The network was a direct response to the adoption of the EU Directive on Whistleblowing and serves as a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and ideas among its member authorities.
NEIWA’s Mission Statement HERE, published in 2021 states its main goals of NEIWA are to:
- Continue to gather information on the proper transposition of the EU Directive 2019/1937 on reporting persons by Member States and follow the practical implementation in Member States.
- Promote a close collaboration between NEIWA members and national, European and international public organizations for the development of common activities in the areas of whistleblowing and integrity, in particular with the EU institutions.
- Promote and disseminate NEIWA’s experiences, knowledge and recommendations and actively engage with stakeholders, including civil society and legislators.
