| The WASH IMO should, in tandem and in consultation with the WCC, set up WASH Operational Response Plan’s monitoring plan, which will be included in the HRP’s annexes. The monitoring plan include a series of indicators aiming at measuring progress of the response. Each indicator includes baseline, targets, monitoring tools, collection and analysis plan. Indicators must be carefully chosen so they are coherent with other indicator system, such as the OCHA’s Humanitarian Indicator Registry, and chosen in such a way to minimize burden for both coordination staff and partners. Indicators are not necessarily all focused on response progress: they can also be related to response quality (quality of WASH services, respect of the sector’s principles and commitments etc.), or sector capacity building. Monitoring plan can also include impact level indicators that can be measured only through overall response evaluation surveys, or meta evaluation of partners project, usually over a period of minimum six monthsMonitoring of partners’ operational presence and activities is one of the GWC Minimum Requirement. The coordination platform must have a breakdown of the WASH sector caseload per geographical areas, also highlighting priority areas defined in the WASH operational plan. They must monitor the progress of the response in each geographical area, using 5W and reports from partners, to detect possible gaps. |
