Definition:

Indicator 6.5.1 is ‘degree of integrated water resources management implementation’. It measures the stages of development and implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), on a scale of 0 to 100, in six categories (see Rationale section). The indicator score is calculated from a country survey with 33 questions, with each question scored on the same scale of 0-100

The Indicator measures progress towards target 6.5: “By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate”. The target supports the equitable and efficient use of water resources, which is essential for social and economic development, as well as environmental sustainability.

Concepts:

The concept of IWRM is measured in 4 main sections, each representing key dimension of IWRM:

1. . Enabling environment: Policies, laws and plans to support IWRM implementation.

2. Institutions and participation: The range and roles of political, social, economic and administrative institutions and other stakeholder groups that help to support implementation.

3. Management instruments: The tools and activities that enable decision-makers and users to make rational and informed choices between alternative actions.

4. Financing: Budgeting and financing for water resources development and management.

Ministry of Water irrigation and Sanitation-SDG pilot report

A broad stakeholder engagement process was undertaken to help increase stakeholder participation and ownership of water management and decision-making processes, and make the findings more robust and useful for further discussions and planning. SDG 6.5.1 Focal Points are asked to fill in the Reporting Process Form in Annex C to increase transparency and stakeholder confidence in the results at all levels.

Data is collected approximately every 3-4 years

Data is released approximately 3 months after the close of each data collection round

The indicator provides a direct progress measurement of the first part of Target 6.5 “…implement integrated water resources management at all levels …”. The indicator score provides an easy and understandable way of measuring progress towards the target, with ‘0’ interpreted as no implementation of IWRM, and ‘100’ interpreted as IWRM being fully implemented.

1. The survey contains 33 questions divided into the four main sections described above. 2. Each question is given a score between 0 and 100, in increments of 10, guided by threshold descriptions for the following 6 categories: • Very low (0) • Low (20) • Medium-low (40) • Medium-high (60) • High (80) • Very high (100) Where question is not applicable, n/a can be selected as a reply, providing adequate Last updated: 2022-12-16 explanation. Note that more question-specific guidance is provided for each threshold for each question, to ensure objective and comparable results. 3. The un-weighted average of the question scores within each of the four sections is calculated to give a score of 0 – 100 for each section, rounded to the nearest whole number. Questions with response n/a are omitted from calculation. 4. 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.

There is a dedicated SDG 6.5.1 Help Desk for ensuring the quality of the statistical results. Firstly, the data goes through 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.

1. National focal points selected by each country.

2. 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.

3. The following guidance materials are available for national focal points in 7 languages (English), at

http://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org/about http://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org: the survey (MS

Word); a detailed monitoring guide; and a PowerPoint presentation and video recording. In

addition, focal points may access the following country-level materials at

http://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org/countrydatabase: the 2017 and 2020 baseline surveys and 2-

page results summaries (for 186 countries); and 2017 and 2020 workshop reports (for 36

countries) from https://www.gwp.org/en/sdg6support/sdgmap/.

4. In addition, an “SDG 6.5.1 Facilitator’s Training Course” is available online via

https://www.gwp.org/en/sdg6support/consultations/where-we-are/stage-1-activities/ , through

the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme.

5. A more comprehensive “IWRM Stage 1 Support Package” is available for a limited number of

countries (approximately 60 countries in 2020) see

https://www.gwp.org/en/sdg6support/consultations/where-we-are/stage-1-activities/. The

Support Package includes seed funding to engage a Facilitator to support the stakeholder

consultation process.

Extensive explanations are provided in the monitoring guide and in the survey itself. The survey contains:

an overall introduction and explanation; a glossary; an introduction and glossary in each of the four

sections; threshold descriptions for six thresholds for each question; and a number of footnotes to

explain aspects of questions or threshold descriptions. All materials can be downloaded from

http://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org. In addition, a dedicated Help Desk is available to provide assistance

at all times.
