GWP conducted a new analysis that relates to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 baseline reports, with an assessment of over 80 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDCs) plans, compared with national development plans and similar documents. The report shows a mismatch between the appetite for water infrastructure and the weak progress on strengthening institutions for managing water.
