Developing coordinated and targeted capacity building efforts, which build upon and complements ongoing capacity building efforts, as well as existing tools and methodologies….

Support in-country capacities to monitoring and reporting on SDG 6 progress

Identify barriers and needs and build capacities for SDG 6 implementation

Identify ways in which capacity development measurement can be more closely linked to management performance and the state of the resource
