1 Water and sanitation in the 2030 Agenda Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6 1

2 Water and sanitation at the core of sustainable development Integrated management across sectors and regions balancing competing needs Industry Food Energy Climate change Scarcity Flooding Pollution Recycling Reuse Ecosystems - Resilience Risks related to famine, epidemics, migration, inequalities, political instability Human health and well-being

3 SDG 6 Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all 6.3 Wastewater and water quality 6.4 Water use and scarcity 6.2 Sanitation and hygiene 6.a and 6.b Cooperation and participation 6.1 Drinking water 6.5 Integrated resources management 6.6 Waterrelated ecosystems

4 No SDG 6 global indicators (short title) Custodian SDG 6 global indicators Safely managed drinking water services WHO UNICEF Safely managed sanitation services WHO UNICEF Wastewater safely treated* WHO UN-Habitat Good ambient water quality* UNEP Water use efficiency* FAO Level of water stress FAO Integrated water resources management UNEP Transboundary basin area with an operational arrangement for water cooperation* UNECE UNESCO Water-related ecosystems* UNEP 6.a.1 Water- and sanitation-related official development assistance that is part of a government coordinated spending plan WHO UNEP OECD 6.b.1 Participation of local communities in water and sanitation WHO management Integrated Monitoring of SDG UNEP 6 4 OECD

5 Summary of context Global goals and targets final and adopted by all UN Member States defined as aspirational National targets needs to be defined by each country guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances Global indicators almost final minimum requirement to broadly track progress towards each target at the global level, to be complemented by: Regional indicators needs to be defined in each region National indicators needs to defined in each country Methodologies for global indicators not final to be tested and revised following pilot testing 5

6 Making a case for monitoring Data lifeblood of decision-making and the raw material for accountability We cannot manage what we do not measure and what gets measured is far more likely to get done Credible water sector data will maximise human, financial and natural resource use efficiency: Underpin advocacy and stimulate political commitment Inform decision-making at all levels Trigger well-placed public and private investments Foster learning about best practices New technologies improving our capacity to collect, store, analyse, report and share data

7 Principle: Importance of integrated data Ensure coherent policies and planning, informed decision-making integrated management Assess and analyse the potential consequences of different development paths Information often collected by different ministeries/institutions/ municipalities/utilities, national statistical office Need to integrate hydrological, environmental, social and economic information for an overall picture 7

8 Principle: Harmonisation Building on existing initiatives and efforts and in the same time ensuring comparable results, across countries and over time Internationally agreed definitions and standards, transparency E.g. System of Environmental- Economic Accounts for Water (SEEA-Water), International Recommendations for Water Statistics (IRWS) 8

9 Principle: Steps of progressive monitoring Flexible methodologies for Member States to enter monitoring in line with national capacity and resource availability start simple and advance progressively as capacity and resources increase Opportunities for combining various methods and data sources direct measurements, surveys, remote sensing, estimates and literature reviews short term: estimates and modelling to fill data gaps long term: national monitoring to feed directly into global

10 Principle: Leaving no one behind a call for data disaggregation No goal or target met until met by all Data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts 6.1 and 6.2 universal access work through survey instruments 6.3 to 6.6 impacts of poor resources management affect different groups differently work with data georeferencing 10

11 SDG 6 monitoring objectives (global level) Integrate and expand existing monitoring efforts, to ensure harmonised monitoring of the entire water cycle E.g. GEMStat, AQUASTAT, Status reporting on IWRM Provide Member States with a monitoring guide for SDG targets Engage Member States and enhance their capacity in water sector monitoring Report on global progress towards SDG targets

12 Monitoring water and sanitation in the 6.6 Ecosystems 6.5 Water management 2030 Agenda (global level) 6.1 Drinking water Goal Water use and scarcity JMP 6.2 Sanitation and hygiene 6.3 Wastewater and water quality (Joint Monitoring Programme) GEMI GLAAS 6.a International cooperation and capacity development 6.b Stakeholder participation UN-Water (Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water)

13 GEMI process and timeline Entry phase: investigating and identifying best-bet options for monitoring water and sanitation related issues Trial of best-bet in pilot countries Evaluation Implementation / data collection (global roll-out) Baseline report(s)

14 Pilot testing 2016 Pilot testing of draft methodologies in a small number of countries selection based on interest and region Africa: Senegal and Uganda Asia: Bangladesh Europe/North America: Netherlands Latin America: Peru Middle East: Jordan Small Islands: Fiji (TBC)

15 SDG 6 Monitoring Team GEMI Coordination Team Lead: UN-Water Technical Advisory Unit Targets Team Lead: WHO, UNICEF (JMP) Target Team 6.3 Lead: WHO, UN-Habitat UNEP Target Team 6.4 Lead: FAO Target Team 6.5 Lead: UNEP UNESCO UNECE Target Team 6.6 Lead: UNEP Targets Team 6.a-6.b Lead: WHO (through GLAAS), supported by Target Team 6.5 OECD National Focal Points and Inter-Sectoral Monitoring Teams 15

16 Water and sanitation in the 2030 Agenda Pilot testing in Uganda 16

17 Purpose of pilot testing To test technical feasibility of the methodologies To test institutional setup / process to implement the methodologies To gather lessons learned and recommendations for improving methodologies and implementing them at the global level in 2017 To define a country roadmap for establishing a baseline by

18 Outcomes of pilot testing Country-level outcomes (envisaged October 2016) Implementation of methodologies at a scale sufficient to test both technical and institutional feasibility Documented country feedback on feasibility Country roadmap for baseline data in Closing workshop Global-level outcomes (December 2016) Revised methodologies based on country feedback 18

19 Expected outcomes of the inception workshop Identification and assessment of drivers/priorities at country level for monitoring availability of data and monitoring capacity roles of national organizations in monitoring (sectoral agencies, service providers and regulatory authorities, national statistical office) related UN activities and development partners Potential establishment of a national inter-sectoral monitoring team for SDG 6 Next steps for the implementation of the pilot testing 19
