AWG Briefing Note on Aid Effectiveness published online

johannasjodin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:30:40 +0200

High-level political declarations have called for accelerated progress to meet the water and sanitation targets. However, such global commitments need to translate into concrete results at the country level. Recent assessments show that enormous challenges still exist for recipient countries to access and make effective use of aid.

Note de synthèse GTA sur l'efficacité de l'aide publiée en ligne

Les déclarations politiques de haut niveau réclament l’accélération du progrès vers les cibles en matière d’eau et d’assainissement. Or, les engagements mondiaux doivent se traduire par des résultats concrets au niveau national. Des évaluations récentes ont montré que les pays bénéficiaires ont toujours de grandes difficultés pour accéder à l’aide et pour l’utiliser de façon efficace.

Guidance for the use of Water Supply and Sanitation Purpose Codes (OECD DAC Creditor Reporting System)

johannasjodin — Tue, 31 May 2011 16:19:15 +0200

Purpose codes for water and sanitation have been revised taking effect in 2011 reporting on 2010 flows (agreed by the DAC Working Party on Statistics – WP-STAT – in May 2009). The purpose of this Note is to offer guidance to users of the revised codes; as such, the Note is “work in progress” and it is envisaged that the Guidance will be updated in the light of donors’ experience in applying the revised Codes. In offering guidance on the new purpose codes, this document also contributes to the higher objective of improving the overall quality of data in the water sector.
