| Technical document

Overview
The A2A Discussion Paper proposes a technical approach for the selection of a slim set of core indicators. Additionally, to assist the busy reader, a summary of the key findings and inputs from the A2A Background paper is provided to set the scene.
Three specific proposals are provided for review and discussion:
- Proposal 1. Indicator domain families. Eight groupings of WASH system-related topics and two priority cross-cutting areas are proposed as the basis for the selection of the core indicators.
- Proposal 2. Core indicator selection criteria. Ten criteria are proposed to evaluate and rank potential candidate core indicators.
- Proposal 3. Process to select and prioritize A2A core indicators. A multi-step process is proposed to engage and consult a diverse set of stakeholders and subject matter experts to nominate, select and prioritize the set of core indicators.
