What is it about?

The first function of the WASH Coordination platform is to “support service delivery”, mostly by setting up a platform that ensures that services delivered by partners to the beneficiaries are driven by the Humanitarian Response Plan and strategic priorities, and avoiding duplication. Depending on the context, the coordination platform will have to be set up (sudden onset emergency, non-cluster activated countries), or strengthened (protracted emergency, cluster-activated countries). In both cases, the WASH sector/cluster coordinator (WCC) works hand in hand with the Information Management Officer (IMO) to achieve all coordination requirements set up by the IASC,  GWC and relevant governmental authorities.
