What is it about?

The first function of the WASH Coordination platform is to “support service delivery”, by setting up a platform allowing partners to 1) deliver services to the beneficiaries according to a Humanitarian Response Plan and the WASH sector/cluster strategic priorities; and 2) avoid duplication. Depending on the context, the coordination platform will have to be set up or strengthened. In both cases, the WASH sector/cluster coordinator (WCC) works hand in hand with the Information Management Officer (IMO) to achieve all coordination requirements set up by the IASC,  GWC OCHA, GWC and relevant governmental authorities.
