UN-Water Global Workshop on SDG 6 Monitoring

The UN-Water Integrated Monitoring Initiative for Sustainable Development Goal 6 (IMI-SDG6) will hold the 2nd Global Workshop on Integrated Monitoring of SDG 6, on 9 December 2021 and from 8-10 February 2022.

SDG 6 is to ‘ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’ by 2030. In recent years, there has been significant progress in gathering data on water and sanitation, but large gaps still remain.

At the 2nd Global Workshop, country-level focal points for SDG 6 monitoring will gather online to exchange experiences and help each other close data gaps and facilitate the use of data in accelerating progress towards achieving SDG 6.

More information about the various sessions are found below. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us on monitoring@unwater.org
