Coordinate WASH sector capacity mapping and development

Implement WASH sector capacity mapping

Capacity mapping can take various forms, depending on the process its objectives and timeframetime-frame. A standard methodology is proposed by the GWC , with the following specificities(refer to the key guidance: 2016 GWC Capacity Mapping At A Glance), presenting the following features:

• It is based on a modular approach, so can be adapted to any timeframe.based on time and resource available
• It sets up clear objectives for the mapping, based on the priority needs observed during the needs assessment phaseThe
• It addresses the whole range of capacities used for the response: technical, but also operational and financial
• Capacity of the whole WASH sector is taken into accountcan be considered, including local markets and local communities’ capacity, and not only the humanitarian WASH actors capacity

Set up a capacity development plan

Map capacities is a mean to end, serving the final objective of improving WASH emergency response priority outputs. Capacity mapping should be followed by the preparation of a capacity development plan, prioritizing and addressing the gaps identified. Prioritization of capacity development actions is must be done based on budget resources available and expected impact on of the actions for the response strategy. In the plan, each Each capacity development action should be allocated assigned to a relevant actor, and include includes an estimated date of completion.

Monitor capacity development plan implementation

Capacity development can include includes a large variety of actions: organization of partners’ technical training, advocacy to partners to strengthen their operations operational capacity in a priority zone, advocacy to donor donors to increase their funding, capacity building of local population or authority for emergency preparedness and response etc. Some actions can be coordinated by the The WASH coordination platform , although it is generally not directly responsible for their implementation. However, they should monitor that the capacity development plan is done implemented as planned, and highlight report any deviation or delays observed. Some actions can be coordinated by the WASH coordination unit, although it is usually not directly responsible for their implementation.
