This document discusses the need for coherence in monitoring water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services delivery across global, regional, and national levels. It notes there are currently issues with monitoring being not coordinated, inconsistent, and duplicative. Key challenges include a lack of standard indicators and definitions. The document calls for a shared global monitoring framework to improve coordination and incentivize sharing of monitoring information. It proposes that the Sanitation and Water for All partnership can provide a forum to develop consensus around such a framework. Strengthening national monitoring systems is also emphasized as critical for effective global monitoring.
