take action (Results Area 3): for example, by raising awareness on the importance of water and sanitation through the World Water Day and campaigns

Within the global water agenda, there are cross-cutting issues in great need of coordination, such as water and climate change, or water quality and wastewater manage- ment, to mention just a few. UN-Water has been working on these issues over many years. To be able to efficiently address them in the future, it was decided to create Expert Groups, gathering technical experts from across the United Nations family and other international organizations. These Expert Groups represent the collective expertise of the United Nations family and beyond on a given issue, for example, to address emerging issues or produce joint policy recommendations to Member States. The Expert Groups also provide a platform for technical experts to exchange information, knowledge and experience, to cross-fertilize activities of individual agencies and to avoid duplication. For specific and time-bound inter-agency collaboration (for example, the production of a report or an event), Task Forces can be created, which are then dismantled when the task is completed.

FOCUS IN 2016–2017 UN-Water focuses its interventions at the level of the United Nations family. The main target group is the United Nations bodies that have a focus on, or interest in, water-related issues. Member States gain from increased coordination and coherence, and reduced overlap and duplication of the United Nations family. These include full access to expertise on water, which improves the ability to deliver efficient and sustainable water and sanitation services to people, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of UN-Water interventions.

UN-Water’s overarching focus in the 2016–-2017 biennium is to support Member States as they start implementing the 2030 Agenda. More specifically, UN-Water will work on raising awareness of the importance of water and sani- tation, providing consolidated and coherent policy advice and technical input on water- and sanitation-related issues, and integrating and harmonizing a global framework for monitoring and reporting on water and sanitation under the 2030 Agenda.

The objective of this area is to provide operational and institutional support to all other areas of work. The pres- ence of an efficient and non-bureaucratic mechanism is an indispensable success element of UN-Water.

Main Activity 4.1 Improving coordination and coherence among UN-Water Members and Partners The biannual Meetings of UN-Water provide an opportunity for Members and Partners to share information on their activities, debate challenges and look ahead to emerging issues. The Meetings function as the main decision-making forum of UN-Water. Between Meetings, UN-Water Mem- bers and Partners meet and collaborate in Expert Groups and through Task Forces.

The UN-Water Joint Steering Group (JSG) is a body to steer the operational management of UN-Water, with specific oversight and management of the UN-Water Inter-Agency Trust Fund (IATF), administered by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

UN-Water reports regularly on its activities to the High Level Committee on Programmes (HLCP) and to the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB). The UN-Water Chair is a United Nations Executive Head and Member of the CEB.

a forum to steer the operational management of UN-Water.

Since 2012, the UN-Water Chair has been a United Nations Executive Head, increasing UN-Water’s outreach capacity both inside and outside the United Nations.

All governance documents, including the Organiza- tional Chart, are available at the UN-Water website: www.unwater.org/publications/un-waters-governance/en/.

MEMBERS The Members of UN-Water are the United Nations agencies, funds, programmes and conventions that include water as part of their mandate. In addition to their steering function for UN-Water as a whole, Members are the primary means for implementation of the UN-Water mandate.

PARTNERS The Partners to UN-Water are organizations from the public and private sectors and civil society that are active in UN- Water’s scope of work. Partners take an active role in UN- Water Meetings, engage in Expert Groups and Task Forces, and provide support to specific activities. Their collabora- tion with UN-Water is guided by a set of Partner criteria.

COLLABORATION WITH OTHER UNITED NATIONS MECHANISMS AND ENTITIES As specified in the Terms of Reference, UN-Water cooper- ates with other inter-agency mechanisms, including UN- Energy, UN-Oceans, the United Nations Environment Man- agement Group and UNDG, on issues of common concern.

INTER-AGENCY TRUST FUND The UN-Water IATF was set up in 2010. Since then, UN- Water’s administrative costs, transaction costs and report- ing have been significantly reduced and streamlined. Please refer to the UN-Water annual reports for detailed financial information.
