UN-Water global annual assessment of sanitation and drinking-water: testing a new reporting approach, 2008 pilot report (pdf 7mb)

This report presents a new methodology of periodic reporting on the sanitation and drinking-water sectors, which aims to strengthen evidence-based policy making.

Specific objectives of the report include:
1) To present an all-round view of the sanitation and  drinking-water sectors by collecting information on  country capacities, national financing and external aid  priorities, and by analysing it together with relevant  information from other sources;

2) To assess the adequacy of current data sources in the  sanitation and drinking-water sectors for use in global  periodic reporting;

3) To assess the ability of countries and external support  agencies to compile institutional and financial data in  the sanitation and drinking-water sectors for use in  periodic sector reporting;

4) To stimulate discussion on the development of better  indicators to monitor progress in the sanitation and  drinking-water sectors;

5) To show lessons learned and recommend a way forward  to the possible establishment of a global periodic  comprehensive reporting mechanism on the sanitation  and drinking-water sectors.
