Task Force on Indicators and Reporting
under the Protocol on Water and Health
The Task Force on Indicators and Reporting has been established by the first Meeting of the Parties to the Protocol on Water and Health ( Geneva, 17-19 January 2007). The main objective of the Task Force is to provide guidance to Parties and to promote exchange of experience and harmonization in the region concerning the obligation of target-setting under the Protocol. To these aims, the Task Force is preparing draft guidelines for the setting of targets and target dates, evaluation of progress and reporting, as well as draft guidelines for summary reports in accordance with article 7, for adoption by the Parties at their second meeting.
The second meeting of the Task Force was held on 12 February 2009 in the Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, back-to-back with the workshop on setting targets and reporting under the Protocol on Water and Health (10 and 11 February 2009).
The documents and other material for this meeting can be found in the table below.
