Toolkit #6: Monitoring the Improvement of Water Security
Download File (6.1 MB)

Monitoring is a process of continuous assessment. It involves collecting data on the current situation (baseline) and on changes that are brought about through activities, projects and policies, or caused by socioeconomic and natural trends and events. Evaluation uses indicators to reflect on such measurable change, compare it to goals and targets, and use the information to learn from experience, adjust implementation, and better plan for the future.

Within the context of water security, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is meant to support and improve the definition, selection, design, implementation of water actions by:

  • Providing information on the status of water and associated resources
  • Building the capacity of stakeholders to understand water risks and make informed decisions
  • Providing evidence that supports the review and comparison of alternative approaches and solutions
  • Detecting implementation delays and issues early on
  • Learning from experience through documentation of both successes and failures
