What is it about?

The overall objective of the coordination is to improve the response. Once results of capacity mapping, needs assessment or response monitoring are compiled, the WASH coordination platform will:

  • Look more in detail the exact locations and root causes of gaps (gap analysis). It can be done by comparing data, identifying trends or pattern. It often involves using visualization technics and infographics
  • Report the Produce and disseminate gap analysis results reports to partners and other response actors using relevant format and tools.
  • Use this report these reports to advocate to relevant level for the resolution of the observed gaps

One of the core functions of the WASH coordination platform as set up by the IASC is “To support robust advocacy”.  The WASH Cluster coordinator is often expected to be the spokesperson of the WASH sector, centralizing and prioritizing concerns from partners, and report them at a higher level, mostly to the Humanitarian Coordinator and Humanitarian Country team through the inter-cluster group and UNICEF. Some technical issues can also be reported directly and addressed at global level through the Global WASH Cluster. 

 

What are the objectives?

  • To provide humanitarian actors with the evidence they need to take operational and strategic decisions and adapt short and long-term strategies 
  • Consolidates and reports concerns preventing a timely and quality implementation of the WASH Cluster/sector response and ensure issues are addressed by relevant actors
