Organize the coordination team

Evaluate & strengthen coordination staff capacity

One of the GWC minimum requirement is that “Cluster/sector at national level is adequately staffed and is proportional to the size of the needs for coordination”. After a new crisis, coordination platform team must be set up, with clear job description/terms of reference for each team member. It is the responsibility of UNICEF country office to make sure that there is sufficient and adequate staff to fulfill the coordination (including IMOs and assessment specialists). Staff can be deployed / recruited by UNICEF or by GWC Stand-by Partners, a group of NGO funded by donors to have staff available for WASH coordination-related rapid deployment. If needed, a temporary assignment (up to 6 months) of a Stand-by partners staff can be requested to EMOPS by UNICEF country office or to the GWC.
