What is it about?

The first function first of the 6+1 functions of the WASH Coordination platform as defined by the Inter Agency Standing Commitee (IASC) is to “support service delivery”, mostly by setting up a platform that ensures that services delivered by partners allowing partners to 1) deliver services to the beneficiaries are driven by the according to a Humanitarian Response Plan and the WASH sector/cluster strategic priorities, ; and avoiding 2) avoid duplication. Depending on the context, the coordination platform will have to be set up (sudden onset emergency, non-cluster activated countries), or strengthened (protracted emergency, cluster-activated countries). In both cases, the WASH sector/cluster coordinator (WCC) works hand in hand with the Information Management Officer (IMO) to achieve all coordination requirements set up by the IASC,  GWC OCHA, GWC and relevant governmental authorities.
