From the initial stages of the emergency, the WASH coordination platform have a key role in relaying and reporting information on needs, response progress and responseidentified gaps. Reporting by the WASH coordination platform has several specific objectives and target, as listed in the table below. All reporting template and examples can be found in the Visual and reporting templates section of the Information management chapter.
Objective | Details | Tools and mechanism |
---|---|---|
Operational gap analyses | At subnational level, there is the need for the WASH partners to be quickly informed about needs and response gaps to orientate their operation |
|
Inform strategic decision | At national level, there is the need for HC/HCT, the National WASH coordination platform and the donor to get consolidated information on response input and quality, to understand the reason for bottleneck and be able to address them |
|
Report on strategic indicators | At national level, there is the need to report on HRP strategic indicators, to inform OCHA and UNICEF's Monitoring and Evaluation system |
|
Advocacy | At global level, there is a need for the Global WASH Cluster and WASH partners' HQ staff to understand the nature of the quality issues faced by the partners and the possible underlying causes (lack of capacity, specific technical or contextual challenges, lack of funding…) in order to provide adequate support and advocate as necessary |
|
Accountability | To enhance accountability and participation, affected population must be informed of the current and expected level of WASH services |

Reference and support materials are maintained both by OCHA and UNICEF, and are available on line (see OCHA and UNICEF tools in Key guidance and tools above). It is a good practice to align the WASH core and strategic indicators to the UNICEF reporting system, to minimize the number of indicators to be informed.
