Targets and indicators on Service performance

Questions Where are we in reaching the MDG 7/10? Do we know where we are in reaching the MDG 7/10? How can monitoring be improved? How can the Protocol contribute to better target setting and monitoring?

Reaching the MDGs… TotalUrbanRural Supply Sanitation

… Yerevan Deteriorating water quality poses a serious health risk Untreated wastewater poses a serious environmental risk Unreliable water supply is an impediment to economic development and education Utilities can not maintain the current systems, except in major cities

Uniqueness of EECCA region Highly developed urban systems and high network coverage in rural areas, cost of which are sometimes beyond current income levels Until recently, declining provision and safety MDG problems concentrated in Caucasus and Central Asia, particularly secondary cities and rural areas

What matters … Quality of water and sanitation services Sustainability of the service Disparities between rural, urban, peri- urban and rural areas

Target components… Access to water Safety of the water provide … zero tolerance approach for microbial failure Environmental soundness of sanitation

Joint Monitoring Program Joint Monitoring Program WHO OECD consultation May 2005 Renewed JMP questionnaire including service quality Data gathering ending 24 November 2005 includes service quality

How can the Protocol contribute Suggestion: –Declare zero tolerance to microbial failure as the ultimate goal for drinking-water quality –Based on the ongoing monitoring of JMP, develop a complementary region-specific monitoring tool –Consider a variety of tools to reach the targets

Indicator criteria JMP – technology based EU monitoring strategy ECOHEIS – ENHIS National reporting systems Mediterranean Action Plan ISO
