report evidence of gender equality results and orient policy actions

will allow comparison and measureprogress through time at a global level

To address the considerable data gap on gender and water issues at

the global level, WWAP has launched the project for

gender-sensitive water monitoring, assessment and reporting, which

consists of four phases:

Phase 1:

Production of the toolkit for gender sensitive water monitoring.

This contains a list of high-priority indicators, a methodology for collecting

sex-disaggregated data, a guideline for data gathering in the field and a questionnaire for practitioners to

collect sex- disaggregated data.

Phase 2:

The toolkit will be testedin selected pilot areas

in different regionsof the world,

in cooperation withnational authorities,

research institutes and international organizations.

Phase 3:

The indicators and methodologywill be validated againstthe results from phase 2,and after the evaluationthe final results will

be widely disseminated.

Phase 4:Capacity building will be implemented by a series of training modules specifically

tailored for multiple users, such as technical staff of developing agencies, water-experts of national institutions,

development practitioners.
