Participate in the response funds pre-positioning
Advocate to the humanitarian coordinator (HC) for pre-allocation of emergency pooled funds to the WASH response
For emergency funds such as CERF or CBPF, an envelop is given to the HC for the whole response. The HC then decides of the sharing of this envelop between each sector (or between HRP's strategic objectives). It is the responsibility of the WASH cluster/sector coordinator to ensure WASH priorities are considered by the HC in this process. WASH cluster/sector coordinator are rarely in contact with the HC and will need to advocate indirectly for funds through UNICEF and the inter-cluster group.
Coordinate pre positioning of non-pooled funds for the WASH response
Not all emergency funds are centralized, and some donors will also allocate funds directly to aid agencies. The WASH Cluster coordinator must be in contact with current or potential donors funding the WASH response. He/she should regularly communicate them response priorities, updates, and report possible funds duplication or gaps. In extreme cases, and if all other means have been tried without success, coordination platform can also contact donors in case their implementing partners are reluctant to collaborate with coordination platform or other partners.
It is a good practice to clearly communicate with donors the WASH sector/cluster strategy so they can verify it is reflected in the proposal submitted by partners, or ensure their funding strategy is aligned with the WASH Operation Response Plan. Large emergency donors usually require their partners to discuss their proposal strategy with coordination platform before submitting it.
Support partners' proposals development
Depending on their time and context, it is a good practice for WASH sector/cluster coordinator to stay in close contact with and available for the partners to ensure their proposals (pooled funds and others) are aligned with defined response strategy and provide them with advice when needed.
