SDG 6

Through the UN-Water Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6, the United Nations seeks to support countries to monitor water and sanitation related issues in the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in an integrated manner, and to compile country data to report on global progress towards SDG 6. The Initiative brings together the United Nations agencies who are formally mandated to compile country data for the purpose of global reporting on SDG 6.

Global implementation of SDG 6 monitoring was initiated in early 2017, with the following two objectives: 1) to generate a robust baseline for each global indicator in as many countries as possible, in time for the High Level Political Forum’s (HLPF) in-depth review of SDG 6 in July 2018; and 2) to start a long-term process of building institutional capacity for integrated water and sanitation monitoring at the country level.
