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 annexesmonitoring plan. The monitoring plan (sometime called Monitoring Frameworkmonitoring framework) includes a series of indicators aiming at measuring progress of the response. Each indicator includes baseline, targets, monitoring tools, collection strategy. Each indicator should include a detailed analysis planclarifying the type, frequency and outputs of the analysis that should be made. A summarized version of each cluster/sector monitoring plan is included in the Humanitarian Response Plan’s annexes (see for example 2017 South Sudan HRP Monitoring plan). Indicators must be carefully chosen so they are coherent with other indicator systems, such as:

Indicators must be chosen in such a way to minimize burden for both coordination staff and partners when informing them. 

Monitoring Plan indicators should be chosen as much as possible from the list of Core indicators defined in the country WASH assessment strategy if it exists, or from the list of GWC core indicators if not.
Note
  • Using same indicators for assessment and monitoring process will save a lot of time and resource, and greatly improve the allowing next HRP's assessment phase  data to be drawn from on-going monitoring system    

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 (W-matrix or other). Depending on context and priorities, they can also be related to WASH response quality, or Emergency WASH sector capacity buildingcapacity building. The coordination platform may find relevant to set up other WASH indicators additional to the ones included in the yearly HRP. They should be included separately, in the SOF (see for example 2017 WC Bangladesh SOF monitoring framework).

Monitoring plan can also include impact level indicators that can be measured only through a thorough WASH response evaluation process. It will be essential to ensure specific means and budget  for their measurement.

The Monitoring plan should be accompanied by a detailed analysis plan, clarifying the type, frequency and outputs of the analysis that should be made of the monitoring data
