Know the humanitarian coordination system and humanitarian program cycle (HPC)

The WASH coordination team must be up to date with the system set up by the Humanitarian Reform and the Transformative Agenda. On this page you will find key general coordination tools, guidance and templates developed by the IASC. In 2005, the Humanitarian Reform set up the humanitarian cluster system and defined the 6 cluster 's core functions (see 2015 IASC Cluster Coordination Reference Module) that have not changed since. In 2012 the 2012 Transformative Agenda , was developed in which the IASC emphasized the necessity for each cluster/sector to follow the Humanitarian Program Cycle (HPC). They defined standard products (HNO, HRP, flash appeal, PMR etc.) associated to the HPC, as well as general inputs required from clusters/sectors. The coordination platform, from these developments, needs to have a clear view on the national HPC calendar and products, and on the inputs they should provide. To make sure that coordination staff are up to date with general and sector specific methodologies and tools, the GWC set up a training pathway (see also capacity development chapter), including various e-learning, face to face briefing and trainings.

The Humanitarian Reform was set up to promote improved coordination and partnership between humanitarian actors ; Coordination as coordination cannot function without the participation and commitment of the partners. WASH coordination platforms must be pro-active to meet all key WASH actors, either to include them in the partnership, or interact with them to build and implement relevant cluster strategystrategies. Partners include relevant ministries and public institutions (often leading or co-leading the WASH coordination), UN agencies, other sector/cluster coordinators, HC, Red Cross, INGOs & LNGOs, donors, private sector.
