Targeting, Monitoring and Implementation Assessment

Targets for meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) should be established by governments nationally and locally. Establishing and revising targets (e.g. MDGs, IWRM plan making, etc.) in order to make them coherent with the challenges faced should be part of a constant, directed effort. Monitoring and assessment of progress toward meeting these targets should be carried out with the aid of robust, ad hoc frameworks to measure local processes in a transparent manner.
