This paper contains a summary of expert inputs on water and sanitation related targets and indicators, compiled and submitted by UN-Water to the UN inter-agency Technical Support Team in February 2015, to inform the ongoing intergovernmental process of adopting a set of SDGs and associated indicators. The paper was updated in June 2015, based on submissions to the UN Statistics Division to inform the 1st Meeting of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators.

The expert advice is derived from a broad technical consultation process among UN-Water’s UN Members and Partners, as well as a range of other stakeholders, and comprises a set of core indicators as well as a number of supplemental indicators. The core indicators can be seen as the minimum number of indicators needed for monitoring the targets, whereas the supplemental indicators are needed to ensure a more comprehensive coverage.

UN-Water Publications

UN-Water’s publications can be divided into two main groups: the publications that represent all Members and Partners of UN-Water – the collective products – and the publications that are under the UN-Water umbrella but produced by groups or individual UN-Water Members and/or Partners – the related products.
