| Abstract | This report seeks to establish markers to determine whether donors are taking their fair share of the burden to meet the water and sanitation target which is part of Millennium Development Goal 7 - ensure environmental sustainability. It highlights gaps in internal monitoring mechanisms important for gauging whether and how these policies are being implemented throughout the agency. Monitoring mechanisms within all agencies and on all issues appear to need improvement. The complexity and size of many donor development agencies as well as the role of country offices in formulating a great deal of policy do make this task very difficult. The report questions whether the policies are at all useful or relevant when they are being agreed at such a high level without country office input. |
