Ngor monitoring indicators ▪ 10 Ngor commitments: 42 indicators ▪ Indicators for Ngor commitments monitoring are staged to show progressive realisation of each commitment Stage 2 Vision Stage 1 indicators indicators indicators track track track the achievement of outcomes enabling published - access environment country targets . and use

5 Results- enabling environment Across Africa there has been good progress against the commitment to establish leadership and coordination structures. This is a key area which drives progress in the sector

6 Results- enabling environment The commitment to eliminate inequalities in access and use, remains a critical bottleneck which threatens to undermine progress across Africa. The commitment to establish budgets for sanitation and hygiene continues to lag behind. Financing is necessary for enabling and accelerating progress to SDG 6 in Africa.

7 Results- enabling environment Eliminating untreated waste, and encouraging its productive utilization is currently the worst performing of the Ngor commitments.

8 Results – country targets ▪ For most commitments less than half of countries have made sufficient progress in establishing the enabling environment, to be able to monitor progress against country targets. ▪ This pattern will change in the future as countries strengthen the enabling environment, and targets and tracking systems against which to measure progress are established.
