conference contribution
posted on 12.02.2018, 15:08 authored by Yaw A. Sarkodie, Emmanuel AddaiMonitoring of water and sanitation activities and progress in some countries often fails to provide
data/information to accelerate decision on sector investments, resource allocation, relevant policy
framework among others. The UNICEF/WHO Joint Monitoring Programme, in its efforts to support
countries to strengthen monitoring, sought budget support from the EU in 2006 to pilot a project to help
make better use of available sector data in Africa. The project aims to minimize the challenges associated
with reliable data on WASH, so that available data can effectively support decisionmaking.
The aim of
the project is to assemble, analyse, repackage
and disseminate relevant WASH data at regular intervals.
Three monitoring platforms have been established in Ghana, Mozambique and Nigeria, all of which have
started yielding outcomes that are worthy of sharing with stakeholders.
