What is it about?

During the implementation phase, the WASH coordination platform

Once the strategic and monitoring frameworks have been set up, and the monitoring tools and templates prepared, implementation must be carefully monitored by WASH coordination unit. It is responsible to monitor both response inputs (

ensuring

verifying that they are adequate) and response outputs (ensuring a maximal response quality), against targets defined

by

in the WASH Operational Response Plan and Strategic Operational Framework (SOF).

The responsibilities of the WASH coordination platform regarding monitoring are summarized as follows,

with links to relevant

subsections

sections of

the

this chapter as well as other chapters of the CTK 

Finally, the WASH coordination platform consolidates and analyses monitoring results to identify response gaps (quality, coverage...) and ensure they are addressed through advocacy. This will be addressed separately in the Gap analysis & advocacy chapter)



What are the objectives?

  • Ensure that organizations involved in the response remain accountable to affected people, national authorities and donors;
Provide guidance to WASH sector partners on operational and technical aspects of the response; and
  • Assess and adjust the humanitarian community’s response to a changing environment.
  • Ensure WASH response is implemented according to agreed strategy and quality standards by taking corrective action when required.
