Water sector stakeholders are invited to express their views on how to shape the future of global water monitoring after 2015.
The JMP Post 2015 Water Monitoring Working Group has launched an e-survey to let all stakeholders express their thoughts on:
- the Group’s draft goal, targets and indicators and,
- the best way to monitor the data.
The survey closes on the 18th June 2012.
The Water Working Group is one of four expert groups established in January 2012 by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) to develop alternative goal, target(s) and indicator options for post-2015 monitoring. The other three groups are on sanitation, hygiene and equity and non-discrimination. The outputs of all these groups will inform the various ongoing political processes led by the UN Secretary General and are expected to culminate in a post-MDG summit at the UN General Assembly in September 2013.
The Post 2015 Water Monitoring Working Group is comprised of a core group and resource group of experts, led jointly by WaterAid and the IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre.
For more information go to the Water Working Group website where you will find a description of the proposed draft goal, target and indicators and a link to the e-survey.
