More Information
During the workshop, innovative data collection and monitoring techniques were presented and gaps were identified between what is currently being monitored, and what needs to be monitored to fulfil the monitoring responsibilities of the water SDGs.
Furthermore, the workshop aimed to foster cooperation between the three countries in the field of monitoring and data collection, possibly through joint research programmes. The outcomes of the workshop also contribute to the water programmes of UNESCO (International Hydrological Programme IHP) and WMO (Hydrology and Water Resources Programme HWRP) and provide an entry point for discussions within Ministries about SDG implementation and monitoring.
