Set up the WASH response monitoring plan
The WASH Information Management Officer (IMO) should, in tandem and in consultation with the WASH Cluster Coordinator (WCC), set up the WASH response’s Monitoring Plan, which will be included in the Humanitarian Response Plan’s annexes. The monitoring plan (sometime called Monitoring Framework) includes 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 systems, such as:
- OCHA’s Humanitarian Indicator Registry
- Country core WASH indicators
- Governmental WASH monitoring frameworks,
- UNICEF’s Humanitarian Performance Monitoring framework,
- Harmonized assessment protocols's indicator system
Indicators must be chosen in such a way to minimize burden for both coordination staff and partners when informing them.

Indicators of the WASH response monitoring plan (commonly referred to as "WASH HRP indicators") are often focused on response progress, ideally informed directly by the 5W activity-tracking system. Depending on context and priorities, they can also be related to WASH response quality or Emergency WASH sector capacity building.
Monitoring plan can also include impact level indicators that can be measured only through overall response evaluation surveys, meta evaluation of partners project, or research project, usually over a period of minimum six months. But in that case it will be essential to ensure specific means and budget for their measurement.
The coordination platform may find relevant to set up other WASH indicators additional to the ones included in the yearly HRP. In that case, they can be included separately in the SOF.
