The objective of the WASH response funds tracking is to ensure that response is funded adequately, both in terms of total amount and prioritization. The main tool available is the online Funds Tracking Services (FTS), https://fts.unocha.org/, where partners must indicate their past, present and planned funding. But partners have no direct obligation to use it, so result results can be inaccurate. Partners may also be tempted to report less funds than they receive, to continue attracting funds. FTS also does not have any breakdown per geographical area, thus limiting possibilities of data analysis. Considering these limitations, FTS remain a very useful tool, but WCC can feel the need to set complement it by setting up their own funding matrix, and update it . One set up, WCC can update their funding matrix regularly using and crossing info provided by partners, donors, and from FTS.
