Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) engaged a consultant (Alluvium) to assist with this assessment and prepare a report to:
- describe the current state (maturity) of Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (MER) capabilities of MDBA, Basin states, Commonwealth Environmental Water Office (CEWO) and Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR)
- identify the target state of MER capabilities in 2020 and 2025
- include findings and recommendations to improve MER capabilities.
The findings and recommendations of the assessment are being used to improve the monitoring and evaluation capabilities of the MDBA, Basin states and Commonwealth partners.
