Es esencial vigilar el progreso de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio en materia de agua y saneamiento a fin de mantener y llevar adelante el compromiso polÃtico de la comunidad internacional y de los gobiernos nacionales. Sin embargo, la información básica sobre este sector sigue siendo insatisfactoria y la confiabilidad de los datos estadÃsticos es inconsistente. El Grupo IENA, un grupo informal de donantes que se conformó por solicitud del Banco Mundial, expresó la necesidad de revisar los programas globales con la finalidad de desarrollar sistemas simples, prácticos y consensuados que brinden a los actores clave la información esencial que necesitan para tomar decisiones fundamentadas. Para contribuir a ello, la cooperación para el desarrollo del Gobierno de Alemania asignó la revisión de los esfuerzos de monitoreo de los ODM al IRC, Centro Internacional de Agua y Saneamiento. El presente documento brinda perspectivas importantes sobre la manera en que se monitorean los ODM en agua y saneamiento. Identifica los desafÃos que deben afrontarse y propone recomendaciones para acciones futuras.
, 2004. Monitoring Millennium Development Goals for water and sanitation : a review of experiences and challenges, Delft, The Netherlands: IRC.
Review of existing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) efforts for MDG Water Supply and Sanitation with the objective of mapping existing efforts, identifying challenges that need to be addressed and making recommendations for further action. The authors mention three relevant examples of complementary monitoring approaches that can enhance monitoring by providing innovative approaches to sampling, data analysis and survey conceptualisation: Vision 21 monitoring, the Method of Participatory Assessment (MPA), and country monitoring by Water Aid. Based on the achievements of MDG monitoring for water supply and sanitation and the challenges, a number of recommendations for action have been formulated taking into account the interdependence of different challenges and points of entry. These recommendations attempt to balance a demand for comparability and uniformity with the need for flexibility given the number of actors, institutions and countries involved. The recommendations can be grouped into the following three categories: A. Strengthening statistical capacities and monitoring effectiveness; B. Coordination, Information Sharing and Cooperation; and C. Strengthening Global Monitoring and the JMP in particular.

Despite the increased attention international organizations now pay to water supply and sanitation, the overall water supply situation in many countries is still deplorable due to the often low sustainability of installed water supply systems.
