and& visualize monitoring results to identify & analyse the response gaps
Set up the analysis plan in the response monitoring systemThe IMO consolidates monitoring results, and perform analyses as planned in the initial analysis plan set up for the response. The use of visualization tools such as maps and infographics during the analysis facilitate the identification and reporting of response gaps
Review the WASH response's monitoring and analysis plan
The WASH Response Monitoring plan must include an initial analysis plan. The analysis plan clarifies the type, frequency and outputs of the analysis that should be made from the monitoring data. It also clarifies the role and responsibilities in the analysis process. It includes a mapping of the data to be collected, and ensures each collected data has a clear purpose. Many analysis can be done directly from the W-matrix. A diagram presenting the 2016 GWC 4W framework developed by the GWC presenting the type of analysis that can be done using a W-matrix can be found in the Key Guidance and tools, as well as examples of Analysis Plandocument section on top of this page. Examples of Analysis Plan can be found in the various Field Examples in the Monitoring Plan section of the Strategic planning chapter.

WASH coordination platform must gather and collate monitoring data from various sources to perform analyses at national level, and subnational level when relevant. Sub-national IMO and sector coordinator will play an important role in ensuring validation and cleaning of data, before reporting it to the national level. |
The complexity of the analyse will depend gathering and consolidating monitoring data depends on the monitoring sourcemechanism set up:

While data compilation, cleaning and analysis is often the responsibility of IMO, the WASH sector coordinator must be involved in the process to ensure that gap analysis answers to strategic priorities and reporting is oriented towards gap resolution and advocacy, and not just on information sharing |
- When monitoring tools are centralized over the response (5W W-matrix, Financial Tracking Services) or at least harmonized, analyse is straightforward.When monitoring is done by partners using , data gathering and analysis can be simple, provided that the reporting system has been well designed and partners are trained and supported to report timely their project data. See also Activity reporting section in the Response monitoring chapter
- When monitoring tools used by partners are non-standardized or non-harmonized tools (ex: partner's internal quality monitoring reports), data consolidation and analyse will be more challenging. It is advised for WASH coordination platform to provide guidance in the SOF on minimum criteria for harmonization of monitoring mechanism between partners. For instance, all reports of Feedback and Complaints Mechanisms used by partners should provide results on the achievement of the 2012 GWC WASH Minimum commitments for the safety and dignity of affected population.
Analyse monitoring results using maps and infographics to identify gaps
Once monitoring results of monitoring and evaluation have been consolidated, mostly often in the form of large database, they should be presented visualized in such a way that they can help identifying response gaps, . This can be done using Desktop Mapping tools and infographics (see text boxes below). Such analyses Analyses can also involve the triangulation of activity-tracking data (5W-tool) with other datasets. Outputs of the analysis can be for example to highlight the following response gaps:
- Imbalances in sub-sector implementation (ex: a focus on water and hygiene at the expense of sanitation)
- Imbalances among locations of intervention (ex: a focus on easy to reach at the expense of hard to reach)
- Donors / Agencies with interventions consistently below minimum standards i.e. , or not in line with the HRP/ or WASH SOF response framework
- Gaps in number of people reached as compared to people targeted, or initial People in Need figures
- Etc.
In the document section on top of this page can be found various gap analysis guidance and template, as well as many examples of gap analysis report done by WASH Cluster platforms in various recent emergencies.

Desktop mapping consists in using computer to perform digital mapping functions, often using GIS (Geographical Information System) softwares. Common GIS softwares include ArcGIS (licenced) and QGIS (open source). A detailed step-by-step workflow is provided in QGIS, to facilitate the production of basic maps. Having an easy access to local map templates greatly speeds up the process of making maps during an emergency. For IMO without GIS experience, it is also easy to make maps using MS PowerPoint or MS Word, by converting GIS shapefiles to Enhanced Graphic Files. An IMO with GIS software can easily convert the administration boundaries for use in PowerPoint and share them. Some desktop . Desktop mapping tools are provided in the documents folders on top of this page. Some GIS administration boundaries can be accessed in Key external web links below in the Visual and reporting templates section of the Information management chapter. |

Infographics are visual representation of data, for example as charts or diagrams. Infographics should allow reader to easily compare needs or response coverage between geographical areas, identify trends, patterns, exceptions etc. Efficient infographics are a mix between good quality data, interesting “story” and relevant design, as explained in the below diagram:
