Do you find any institutional structures specifically developed for information collection and analysis? At what levels are such institutional systems developed?

Answer:
Explanation:
The term “institutional framework” refers to a set of formal organisational structures, rules and informal norms for service provision. Such a framework is the precondition for the successful implementation of other sanitation and water management intervention tools and therefore needs to be considered in particular. In the field of water and sanitation management, an institutional framework involves outlining the responsibilities of services institutions for various aspects of the sector (IEES 2006). Institutional structures vary from country to country, but whatever the specific structure is like, it is essential to have mechanisms for dialogue and co-ordination. A balance has to be met between providing a fully integrated approach where specific issues may get lost due to lack of expertise or interest, and a sectoral approach where different policies are followed without any co-ordination (GWP 2008).
