Tackling the Challenges of SDG Monitoring: A Roadmap Outlining the Costs and Value of a Water Sector Monitoring System
A coalition of technical experts propose to provide analysis that integrates new data instruments, technologies, standards and approaches with existing systems for the monitoring of Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This analysis is critical to building an action plan that incorporates costs and shows the benefits of integrated water data collection systems, generating models relevant to national and regional agencies and the ongoing SDG indicator design process. The goal is to enhance global and national monitoring systems for the water sector. It will support the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (to be launched in September 2015), the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) thematic group on data, the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Indicators (IAEG-SDG), as well as National Statistics Offices, which will be the focal points to design national SDG monitoring processes.
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.
