Monitor WASH response progress against strategic indicators

Based on the strategic objectives of the Humanitarian Response Plan, a WASH Operational Response Plan is established with sector/cluster objectives and the targeted population (number and categories of beneficiaires) are agreed by WASH Cluster / Sector partners. Strategic indicators are the ones defined in the HRP and more specifically in the WASH Operational Response Plan’s monitoring plan, used WASH strategic indicators are the indicators included in the  Monitoring plan of the WASH Operational Response Plan, part of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). They are used to monitor the achievement of the WASH strategic objectives. Many of them can be measured using 5W matrix, but some . It is an important responsibility for the WASH Coordination platform to set up relevant mechanisms to inform these indicators at response level. These mechanisms often involve collection of data from partners about their individual program, and consolidation of these data to provide response level information.

Strategic indicators must be carefully formulated to be measurable (see SMART indicators below), and care should be taken to avoid / limit indicators that depend on systems that have yet to be established. The use of core indicators is strongly recommended. Many strategic indicators can be measured by analysing W-matrix data. Other strategic indicators might be focused on quality, or capacity building, and will require to triangulate 5W the triangulation of W-matrix data with other monitoring tools.

The WASH Coordination platform must report on these indicators regularly in the monthly WASH response dashboard and in the HRP's Periodic Monitoring Reports, whose frequency are determined by OCHA, or the UNICEF's Humanitarian Performance Monitoring Report (see Reporting & dissemination chapter) .
