Monitoring and reporting on Sustainable Development Goal 6
Through the UN-Water Integrated Monitoring Initiative for Sustainable Development Goal 6 (IMI-SDG6), the United Nations supports countries in monitoring water- and sanitation-related issues within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and compiles country data to report on global progress towards SDG 6. IMI-SDG6 brings together the United Nations organizations that are formally mandated to compile country data on the SDG 6 global indicators.

About the SDG 6 Data Portal
The UN-Water SDG 6 Data Portal brings all the United Nation’s water and sanitation information into one place.
Hydrological, environmental, social and economic information from all countries and regions is integrated and presented in a range of infographics. Designed for decision-makers, advisors, technical professionals, researchers and students, there are tools to help users visualize and analyse the information, giving a clear picture of how the world is progressing towards the various SDG 6 targets.
The portal complements the Global SDG Indicators Database and indicator-specific databases.
The objectives of the portal are to:
- Track overall progress towards SDG 6 at global, regional and national levels.
- Enable assessment and analysis of the state of water resources and linkages to other sectors.
- Raise awareness of water and sanitation issues to help catalyse action.
- Encourage and improve SDG 6 monitoring and reporting at all levels.
- Be an entry point to the wealth of water and sanitation information available within the United Nations system.
