<br />
This advisory note, based in part on the CAO&rsquo;s experience in Peru to resolve issues surrounding the Yanacocha gold mine, provides hands-on guidance for implementing successful participatory water monitoring programmes. It gives examples of practical models to achieve participation in different environmental, financial and governance contexts. The guide opens in chapter 1 with a discussion of the need for participatory<br />
monitoring. Chapters 2-5 describe the four components of an effective participatory monitoring programme: <br />
<br />
&nbsp;* initiating the monitoring program;<br />
&nbsp;* creating meaningful participation, effective governance, and transparent financing;<br />
* creating credible information;<br />
&nbsp;* evaluating the process and results.<br />
<br />
Three appendices present: summaries of eight participatory monitoring programmes surveyed to provide background for this guide; sampling methods and procedures; and a list of additional resources.
