What is it about

One of the core functions of the coordination platform is to “inform HC/HCT’s strategic decisions”, by providing them a clear analysis and prioritization of WASH humanitarian needs. The WASH coordination platform will first set  To achieve this function, the coordination platform should:

• Understand the contribution of WASH sector to the intersectoral needs assessment process. Clusters/sectors assessment processes are guided by and must contribute to the response’s intersectoral assessment process, usually called Humanitarian Needs Overview in protracted / slow emergency, or Flash Appeal in sudden on-set crisis.
• Set up an assessment strategy

• to define the information needs and make necessary arrangements to gather required data
• Develop core indicators to

• harmonize the way WASH assessment data is collected

• and make the link with the response monitoring system
• Implement a secondary data review (SDR) to collate and consolidate data collected by actors such as national governments, development organizations

• or other clusters

• .
• Coordinate or lead WASH primary data collection and analyses to address gaps identified by the SDR through multi-sectorial or WASH-specific assessments, implemented by assessment-specialized organizations or WASH partners
• Estimate WASH People in Need (PIN) and implement a WASH severity mapping. The data analysis must lead to an estimation of WASH PIN figures and a WASH severity mapping, to identify and prioritize the people in need of WASH support.

What is the objective

• Ensure the WASH multisector humanitarian response is based on evidence to optimize available resourcesbuilt on solid WASH evidences
