What is it about?

The final objective A primary function of the WASH coordination unit is to use monitoring data to track, identify, and respond to identified gaps to improve the response. Once results of data from capacity mapping, needs assessment or response monitoring are compiled, the WASH coordination platform willseeks to:

  • Look more in detail the exact locations and root causes of gaps (gap analysis). It can be done by comparing data, identifying trends or pattern. It often involves using visualization technics and infographics
  • Report the gap analysis results to partners and other response actors using relevant format and tools.
  • Use this report to advocate to relevant level Examine the data against response requirement and objective as per the initial monitoring & analysis plan
  • Develop appropriate visualizations / infographics to identify and highlight gaps
  • Develop information products presenting response progress and gaps, and disseminate them as appropriate
  • Advocate to the relevant level/actor for the resolution of the observed gaps

One of the core functions of the WASH coordination platform as set up by the IASC is “To support robust advocacy”.  The WASH Cluster coordinator is often expected to be the spokesperson of the WASH sector, centralizing and prioritizing concerns from partners, and report them at a higher level, mostly to the Humanitarian Coordinator and Humanitarian Country team through the inter-cluster group and UNICEF. Some technical issues can also be reported directly and addressed at global level through the Global WASH Cluster. 

 

What are the objectives?

  • To provide humanitarian actors with the evidence they need to take operational and strategic decisions and adapt short and long-term strategies 
  • Consolidates and reports concerns preventing a timely and quality implementation of the WASH Cluster/ sector response and ensure issues are addressed by relevant actors
