The present paper aims at providing an overview of the indicators that are presently in use for measuring the progress made in the conditions of equality and empowerment of women in the context of the management of water resources in the Mediterranean region. At national level, it is clear that the existing indicators only provide a marginal coverage of the subject and that other indicators are needed to give a more completed perspective. In the document, some proposals are made to fill the gap. Some of the indicators proposed are already used by some countries but their use is not generalised. The idea behind the proposals made is to discuss them at different levels and see if a more generalised application can be made. As the document is one of the outputs of the GEWAMED project, the proposals made here will be discussed with the project partners. It is expected that some of the partners will volunteer for the application of the proposals made and collect the corresponding information during the project life. Results will be reported at later date. The document besides analysing the indicators needed at national level, makes a review of those that should be developed or used at local level. Here the generalisations are more difficult as the need for monitoring systems at local are very much dictated by the activities or programmes carried out at that level. Nevertheless, the document reviews some of the indicators that are already used in this different contexts and make some suggestions for their use.
