This document discusses the importance of monitoring sustainable water services. It outlines that monitoring is needed to see changes over time, identify successes and failures, and analyze data to inform decisions. However, monitoring requires long-term commitment which many projects lack due to short project cycles. The document recommends monitoring various aspects, including users, service providers, regulators, and national frameworks. It also suggests embedding monitoring within local institutions and using emerging tools to provide more insights over time.
