Coordination of Water Actions at the Country Level

A Report of the UN-Water Task Force on Country Level Coordination

This report analyzes water related coordination mechanisms in 13 countries representing differing humanitarian and development situations and geographic locations. The information collected has been supplemented by selected case studies on coordination provided by UN-Water Members and Partners and an examination of the literature on coordination mechanisms of government for water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management. A previous report on 5 countries from the Task Force in 2008 also contributed significantly to an understanding of coordination mechanisms.
