<p>United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), implemented by the UNEP-DHI Centre on Water and Environment, and UN-Water partners, under the <a href="https://www.sdg6monitoring.org/about/integrated-monitoring-initiative/" target="_blank">UN-Water Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6 (IMI-SDG6)</a>.</p>
INST_MANDATE
<p>UNEP is the designated Custodian Agency for the indicator. Support on the collection, processing, and dissemination of statistics for this indicator is provided by the UNEP-DHI Centre on Water and Environment, the Global Water Partnership (GWP), and Cap-Net. </p>
RATIONALE
<p>The indicator provides a direct progress measurement of the first part of Target 6.5 &#x201C;&#x2026;implement integrated water resources management at all levels &#x2026;&#x201D;. The indicator score provides an easy and understandable way of measuring progress towards the target, with &#x2018;0&#x2019; interpreted as no implementation of IWRM, and &#x2018;100&#x2019; interpreted as IWRM being fully implemented.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To further aid interpretation and comparison, the indicator results can be categorized as follows: </p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Degree of implementation</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>Score range</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>General interpretation for overall IWRM score</p>

<td>
<p>Very high</p>
</td>

<p>Vast majority of IWRM elements are fully implemented, with objectives consistently achieved, and plans and programmes periodically assessed and revised.</p>
</td>

<p>The concept of the survey is that it provides sufficient information to be of real value to the countries in determining their progress towards the target, and through this, various aspects of IWRM. A balance has been sought between providing sufficient information to cover the core principles of IWRM, and thus providing a robust indicator value, and not overburdening countries with unnecessary reporting requirements. </p>
<p>Countries are encouraged to provide additional information on each question, which may help to qualify their choice of score, and/or put that score into their national context. </p>
<p>Indicator 6.5.1 is supported by indicator 6.5.2 &#x201C;Proportion of transboundary basin area with an operational arrangement for water cooperation&#x201D;, which directly addresses the portion of Target 6.5 &#x201C;&#x2026;, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate.&#x201D;.</p>
REC_USE_LIM
<p>The challenge of subjectivity in responses associated with this type of survey is being addressed in a number of ways: </p>
<ol>
<li>Draft responses are reviewed by a number of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders in an open, inclusive and transparent process. </li>
<li>Countries are encouraged to provide further information to qualify their responses and/or set them in the national context. </li>
<li>Guidelines are provided for each of the four main sections, each question, and each of the six thresholds for every single question, to ensure responses are as objective as possible, and are comparable both between countries, and between reporting periods. </li>
</ol>
<p>To achieve robust indicator results requires a country process involving a wide range of stakeholders which requires a certain amount of time and resources. The advantage of this is that it puts in place a process that addresses the integrated and indivisible nature of the SDG targets, as well as stressing the importance of &#x201C;leaving no one behind&#x201D;.</p>
DATA_COMP
<ol>
<li>The survey contains 33 questions divided into the four main sections described above. </li>
<li>Each question is given a score between 0 and 100, in increments of 10, guided by threshold descriptions for the following 6 categories:<ul>
<li>Very low (0)</li>
<li>Low (20)</li>
<li>Medium-low (40)</li>
<li>Medium-high (60)</li>
<li>High (80)</li>
<li>Very high (100)<br><br>Where question is not applicable, n/a can be selected as a reply, providing adequate explanation. <br><br>Note that more question-specific guidance is provided for each threshold for each question, to ensure objective and comparable results. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The un-weighted average of the question scores within each of the four sections is calculated to give a score of 0 &#x2013; 100 for each section, rounded to the nearest whole number. Questions with response n/a are omitted from calculation.</li>
<li>The section scores (rounded to the nearest whole number), are averaged (un-weighted), and rounded to the nearest whole number, to give the indicator score, expressed as a number between 0 and 100.</li>
</ol>
DATA_VALIDATION
<p>There is a dedicated SDG 6.5.1 Help Desk for ensuring the quality of the statistical results. Firstly, the data goes through any national quality assurance and approval processes, before being submitted to the Help Desk. The Help Desk then undertakes the Quality Assurance procedure described in section 4.j. All issues are discussed between the Help Desk and the Focal Point(s). Only when all issues are resolved, are the data finalised and entered into the Help Desk Database. The data is then submitted to the UNEP SDG focal point, who collates all indicator data for which UNEP is the Custodian Agency, where a further quality check is undertaken, prior to submission to the SDGs Indicator Database. </p>
ADJUSTMENT
<p>Once the validation process described above is complete, no further adjustments are made. </p>
IMPUTATION
<p><strong>&#x2022; At country level</strong></p>
<p>The indicator and survey have been designed for all countries to be able to submit an indicator value, and the number of country responses under the SDG process is in excess of 90%. Estimates for countries not responding to the survey are therefore not made.</p>
<p><strong>&#x2022; At regional and global levels</strong></p>
<p>As the number of country responses is in excess of 90%, this coverage of data is deemed to be representative of regional and global aggregates. Estimates for countries not responding to the survey are therefore not made.</p>
REG_AGG
<p>Following the Agenda 2030 principle of &#x201C;leaving no one behind&#x201D;, regional and global values are based on simple, un-weighted averages of country scores. The country scores are presented as a whole number, and regional and global averages are also presented as a whole number. Global averages are based on country values, not regional averages.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regional values may be assembled by regional bodies responsible for water resources in the region, such as the African Ministerial Council on Water (AMCOW), the European Environment Agency (EEA), and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for West Asia (ESCWA).</p>
DOC_METHOD
<ol>
<li>National focal points selected by each country. </li>
<li>National focal points are responsible for coordinating a national process to engage governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, as appropriate in the context of each country, to develop draft responses and finalise responses. This may be via email, workshops, and online notices. </li>

<p><strong>Disaggregation:</strong></p>
<p>The strength of the indicator lies in the potential for disaggregating the country score into the four main dimensions of IWRM, and further to the questions in the survey. This provides countries with a quick assessment of which aspects of IWRM are progressing well, and which aspects require increased efforts to reach the target. </p>
<p>The nature of the target, indicator and survey does not lend itself to disaggregation by sex, age group, income etc. However, social equality is an integral part of IWRM, and there are questions which directly address issues such as gender, vulnerable groups, geographic coverage and broad stakeholder participation in water resources development and management. These questions provide an indication of the national and sub-national situation regarding social equality.</p>

DATA_SOURCE
<p>The information required to complete the survey is expected to be held by government officials responsible for water resources management in the country, supported by official documentation. E.g. Ministry of Water in coordination with Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Lands and Agriculture, Ministry of Industry and Mining etc. See also &#x2018;data sources&#x2019; section above. As a minimum, a small group of officials may be able to complete the survey. However, these government officials may belong to various government authorities, and coordination is required to determine and validate the responses to each question. Increased government and non-government stakeholder participation in validating the question scores will lead to a more robust indicator score and facilitate tracking progress over time.</p>
