Dear SGD 6.5.1 Focal Point(s) and colleagues,  

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is inviting all UN Member 
States to report on SDG indicator 6.5.1 during 2026. Please find attached 
the formal invitation to report. 

The attached files also include the SDG 6.5.1 Survey pre-filled with your 
country’s answers from previous years, the SDG 6.5.1 1-page Survey 
overview and the Monitoring Guide in the relevant language(s). You will find 
detailed instructions on the submission process for the national SDG 6.5.1 
Survey in the Monitoring Guide. These documents, 
along with additional Supporting Materials, can be downloaded in English, 
French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese from the IWRM Data 
Portal:  <https://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org/data-collection> 
https://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org/data-collection.

The deadline for submitting the first draft of the national SDG 6.5.1 Survey 
is Friday 5th of June 2026. Countries are encouraged to submit interim or 
incomplete drafts with clarification questions at any 
time. Please submit the Survey in one of the following languages only: 
Arabic, Chinese, French, English, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish.

A critical aspect of SDG 6.5.1 reporting is the stakeholder consultation 
process. We encourage all Focal Points to ensure an inclusive process 
as appropriate in the country context. The Supporting Materials provide 
guidance for your consideration on how to structure that process. 

In 2026, a limited number of pre-selected countries will receive 
technical/financial assistance, through 
<https://www.gwp.org/en/sdg6support/iwrm-support/stage-1-identifying-challenges/stage-1-support/> 
Stage 1 of the SDG 6 Support Programme, to hold stakeholder consultations 
for reporting on indicator 6.5.1. These countries have received a 
pre-notification of selection for Stage 1 support.

Additional guidance on the survey and/or reporting process is available 
through the SDG 6.5.1 Help Desk, [email-masked] 
<mailto:[email-masked]>  upon request.

Please confirm receipt of this email before the 12th of March 2026. 

We look forward to supporting you to report on SDG indicator 6.5.1 in 
2026.  

P.S. We have copied both the National Statistics Office (NSO), and SDG 6 
Overall Focal Point (OFP), where available, to facilitate coordination. 
Please also inform us of any changes to colleagues to keep in copy in 
correspondence. 

Sincerely,  

Lisbet Rhiannon HANSEN
