Global indicator framework
Data flow in SDG reporting
• Custodian agencies to
send requests for
data to countries
• Countries to send
data to the custodian
agency
• Custodian agencies to
validate data in
consultation with
countries
• Countries to sign-off
validated data
• Custodian agency to
send validated data
to UNSD
• UNSD to publish
data

UN-Water Synthesis Report for SDG 6
1. Inform HLPF 2018 in-depth
review of SDG 6
2. The UN delivering as one –
overcome possible
fragmented reporting
3. Integrating other reports
4. Adding value through
synthesis; prepared by a
truly transdisciplinary group
5. Fact-based and policy-
relevant to support Member
States

GLAAS objectives
• Monitor the inputs required to extend and sustain WASH
systems and services to all, especially the unserved and
vulnerable groups
• Support country-led processes that bring together the many
institutions and actors that are involved in delivering WASH
services
• Identify drivers and bottlenecks of progress, highlight
knowledge gaps and assess strengths and challenges across
countries
• Collect data from countries and external support agencies

Annual water sector ODA disbursements and as a percentage
of total ODA

Countries with defined procedures in law or policy for participation by service
users/communities, and extent of high user participation

6.b in-depth study
• Need to know more how best to monitor this indicator,
existing data sources and availability in countries
Phase 1:
• Desk review of available data and indicators
• Semi/structured interviews
• Light case studies covering range of participation
typologies
Phase 2:
• In-depth country case studies in 2-3 countries

GLAAS 2017 report
• Finance-focused thematic report
• More WASH financing data compared
to previous GLAAS cycles
 Number of countries providing
government expenditure data
GLAAS cycle # countries
2009/2010 2
2011/2012 17
2013/2014 33

Key messages
National WASH budgets
are increasing as
countries prepare to
take on board the SDGs,
yet there remains a
discrepancy between
global aspirations and
national realities

Key messages
The SDGs require greater
ambitions for WASH, but
there remains a lack of
financial sustainability
for reaching the
unserved and
maintaining services

Key messages
Official development
assistance (ODA)
disbursements for
water and sanitation
are increasing, but
future investments are
uncertain
