Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP)

The Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) is the main inter-sector tool for response planning. It includes a summary of the humanitarian situation, the humanitarian country strategy and the plan of each cluster which are also called Operational Plans. It also contains the response cost, and therefore also represent a funding appeal document.

The HRP process is driven by OCHA, with contributions from cluster coordinators. In protracted emergencies, it is usually done on a yearly basis, in October, after the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). HRP HRPs are usually updated 6 months after their publication, with the release of a revised HRP.  In sudden onset emergencies, it can be replaced or complemented by a Flash Appeal.

• WASH Humanitarian caseload
• WASH response prioritization
• WASH response costing
• WASH monitoring plan.

Processes and tools used for each element of the operational plan are detailed in the page. The monitoring plan is addressed in the Monitoring chapter
