Appendix C: Illustrative Examples of Site Water Governance Targets

This appendix provides illustrative examples of site targets on water governance.

 

The User’s Guide on Assessing Water Governance of the United Nations Development Programme, the Water Governance Initiative of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the UN Water Status Report on Integrated Water Resource Management and Water Efficiency Plans, and the World Resources Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management Sustainability Initiative all provide useful frameworks and indicators to assess water governance.123

A water governance goal is likely binary (achieved/not achieved) with the associated action and implementation plan serving as a measurement towards progress.456
