Once the needs assessment phase is completed, all necessary data should have been collected and analysed to inform strategic planning : allowing the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) process can to start. The HRP has become the main tool for intersectoral strategic planning in protracted, slow-onset or stabilized contextemergency setting. It is a one-month duration OCHA-driven process done with the support of each sector, usually occurring once a year in protracted emergency. As part Part of the HRP process, the development of the WASH Operational Response Plan is is an essential function of the WASH coordination platform; it requires , requiring joint efforts from IMO, WCC and WASH partners to implement a response analysis based on the needs assessment data, define strategic orientation of the WASH response, estimate the population targeted for the WASH response (caseload), prioritize activities and population groups to be covered, and calculate response cost. The WASH operational plan sets targets against which the WASH response will be monitored.In sudden onset emergencies, HRP is replaced by Information Management Officer, WASH Cluster coordinator and WASH partners. In large sudden onset emergencies, the annual HNO + HRP documents can be replaced by a Flash Appeal, which follows the same logic but in a much quicker way drafted over a very short period (3 to 5 days), and mostly based on secondary data. |

The WASH Operational Response Plan provides partners with a general framework to design and cost their projects. Its objective is inter-sectoral planning, and it contains only a summary of the WASH strategy and implementation guidance. More details about the WASH response implementation modalities must be agreed by SAG and gathered in a document called the WASH Strategic Operational Framework (SOF).
Beyond strategic planning and HRP/SOF development, the WASH cluster / sector is committed to deliver services to the beneficiaries with the highest possible quality. The WASH cluster partners must set up the response's Quality Assurance System, agreeing on quality targets for both response inputs and outputs, monitoring modalities and collective ways of addressing quality issues.
HRP and SOF contains targets against which WASH response can be monitored. Once strategy has been defined, the WASH coordination platform elaborates the WASH response's Monitoring plan, which contains the indicators that will be used to monitor the response, the monitoring modalities and the data analysis plan.
