The GWC Style Guide offers information on the logo, icons, fonts and colours that should be used for producing WASH-related reporting material. IMO must try to use the GWC guidance as much a possible when producing material in the country of emergency. Icons are useful to illustrate documents, presentations and maps. The icon folder contains general and WASH-related icons. Some icons are produced by the OCHA Visual Unit, other icons were adapted to WASH specific needs and come in a variety of formats (.ai, .svg, .png, .docx). In addition, an ESRI and QGIS icon folder contain icons for use in a GIS. The folder also includes guidance on how to adapt the GWC logo to make your country cluster logo.

Templates (see)
Basic reporting products produced during an emergency should be kept brief, use bullet points and visual-aids where appropriate, and highlight essential issues. A series of blank report templates (reports, sitreps, base maps, operational presence maps, WASH cluster dashboards and bulletins) for general use are provided on top of this page, including:

WASH cluster/sector dashboard and operational presence map
WASH sector dashboards objective is to provide a visual snapshot of the emergency response progress against strategic indicators, as well as main response gaps. They present analysed data from recent monitoring results, especially from 4/5 W. Dashboards are produced on a weekly or monthly basis, usually following the cycle of 4/5 W submission by partners. They are shared with all actors and published on the WASH sector website. Sector dashboards are compiled by OCHA to produce overall response dashboard. See template and example in the document sections above.
WASH Desktop Mapping tools
Desktop mapping consists in using computer to perform digital mapping functions, often using GIS (Geographical Information System) softwares. Common GIS softwares include ArcGIS (licenced) and QGIS (open source). A detailed step-by-step workflow is provided in QGIS, to facilitate the production of basic maps. Having an easy access to local map templates greatly speeds up the process of making maps during an emergency. For IMO without GIS experience, it is also easy to make maps using MS PowerPoint or MS Word, by converting GIS shapefiles to Enhanced Graphic Files. An IMO with GIS software can easily convert the administration boundaries for use in PowerPoint and share them. Some desktop mapping tools are provided in the documents folders on top of this page. Some GIS administration boundaries can be accessed in Key external web links below
