Footnote:

Methodological sheet of the indicator available for the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.

Available indicator

Proportion of local administrative units with established and operational policies and procedures for participation of local communities in water and sanitation management
Target

6.b Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management
Goal

6- Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Definition

Proportion of local administrative units (municipalities) with established and operational policies and procedures for participation of local communities in drinking water and sanitation management and in bathing water management
Theoretical formula \[PDAL_{water\, management}^{t} = \frac{DAL_{water\, management}^{t}}{DAL^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$DAL_{water\, management}^{t} =$ local administrative units (municipalities) with established and operational policies and procedures for participation of local communities in water management in year $t$

$DAL^{t} =$ local administrative units (municipalities) in year $t$
Frequency

Annual
Observations

The indicator is 100% since local governments are responsible for the quality of drinking water, and can manage its supply directly or through a manager (Royal Decree 140/2003, of February 7, establishing the health criteria for the quality of drinking water). They are also responsible for the management of bathing water (Royal Decree 1341/2007, of October 11, on the management of bathing water quality).

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

Defining the procedures in policy or law for the participation of local communities is vital to ensure the needs of all the community are met, including the most vulnerable and also encourages ownership of schemes which in turn contributes to their sustainability.

A low value of this indicator would suggest that participation of local communities in water and sanitation management is low, whereas a high value would indicate high levels of participation, indicating greater ownership and a higher likelihood of sustainable delivery and management of water and sanitation services.
