The Water Governance Indicator Framework provides a voluntary multi-stakeholder self-assessment tool to understand the performance of water governance systems at city, basin, regional or national scales.

It is also a tool supporting the implementation of the OECD Principles on Water Governance.

This tool provides 50+ examples that document the implementation of the OECD Principles on Water Governance.

It is aimed at policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders wanting to learn from each other and aims to help them identify pitfalls to avoid when designing and implementing water policies.
