#3 - Each country should monitor and report annually its achievements towards the water MDGs.

#12 - To optimise local investment capacity, local governments and water authorities should maximise their operating efficiency and report on their performance in meeting these standards.

#16 - National governments should create a central agency to collect, publish and compare sub-sovereigns’ financial and management information (including benchmarking of key operating parameters), and generally improve the transparency of these operations. The agency should encourage civil society to monitor whether the services received by the community are consistent with the reports received. Donors should support such an agency, using public and private sector expertise in administrative, legal and financial areas.

#52 - The panel invites the DAC to consider amending its presentations of national ODA performance to reflect properly the status of guarantees.

#58 - Donors should report annually about the impact of their aid on achieving water MDGs by publishing:
 
• The number of people they have helped to get access to water and sanitation

• The average “aid efficiency” of their water projects: that is, the foregoing number of people divided by the grant value of their aid.

• The “leverage effect” of their aid, namely, the total amount of financing mobilised on water projects they have aided.
