SWAP indicators SWAP indicators contribution • The SWAP indicators have identified by the local fora, are consistent with the list of indicators suggested in the MSSD because these local indicators are based on the general framework of the MSSD to meet national and local expectations of the population. • In addition, these indicators have been selected by all local stakeholders through a participatory approach of all concerned in the context of promoting sustainable development. • These indicators respond to sustainable development objectives based on 4 pillars such environmental, economic, social and governance and their interaction. mediterranean dialogue on framing Sustainability in WAter Policy evaluationn 12
Conclusions SWAP indicators contribution The SWAP project can be a basis for an international debate on sustainability indicators in general, the indicators of sustainability appear often too general in order to identify relevant issues of sustainable development. The SWAP indicators for sustainable development are proposed by the 3 case studies. These indicators should reflect the state of the environment, economy, health, quality of life, social cohesion in a context of sustainable development in local or national level. mediterranean dialogue on framing Sustainability in WAter Policy evaluationn 13
