The objective of the WASH response funds tracking is to ensure that response is funded adequately, both in terms of total amount and prioritization. The main tool available is the online Funds Tracking Services (FTS), https://fts.unocha.org/, , or FTS (see below in the key external weblinks), where partners must indicate their past, present and planned funding. But partners have no direct obligation to use it, so results can be inaccurate. Partners may also be tempted to report less funds than they receive, to continue attracting funds. FTS also does not have any breakdown per geographical area, thus limiting possibilities of data analysis.

WCC has usually an easy access to funding data from pooled funds (CERF, CBPF). However a large proportion of WASH partners’ funding comes from other sources: bilateral funding by donors, or aid organizations’ internal funding sources. Non-centralized funding represents a challenge for coordination platforms as they are not consulted or sometimes not even informed of these funding, decreasing the accuracy of sector funds tracking. The WCC must overcome this challenges by maintaining a high level of communication and trust with non-pooled donors and WASH partners, and update the WASH Cluster/sector funding matrix with information they provide.
