Set up the WASH response monitoring and data analysis plan

The WASH Information Management Officer (IMO) should, in tandem and in consultation with the WASH Cluster Coordinator (WCC), set up the WASH response’s monitoring plan. The monitoring plan (sometime called monitoring framework) includes a series of indicators aiming at measuring progress of the response. Each indicator includes baseline, targets, monitoring tools, collection strategy. Each indicator should include a detailed analysis planclarifying the type, frequency and outputs of the analysis that should be made. A summarized version of each cluster/sector monitoring plan is included in the Humanitarian Response Plan’s annexes (see for example 2017 South Sudan HRP Monitoring plan). Indicators must be carefully chosen so they are coherent with other indicator systems, such as: 


Indicators of the WASH response monitoring plan (commonly referred to as "WASH HRP indicators") are often focused on response progress, ideally informed directly by the activity-tracking system (W-matrix or other). Depending on context and priorities, they can also be related to response quality, or capacity building. The coordination platform may find relevant to set up other WASH indicators additional to the ones included in the yearly HRP. They should be included separately, in the SOF (see for example 2017 WC Bangladesh SOF monitoring framework).



Note
titleChoice of indicators
  • Using same indicators for assessment and monitoring process will save a lot of time and resource, allowing next HRP's assessment data to be drawn from on-going monitoring system
  • Indicators must be chosen in such a way to minimize burden for both coordination staff and partners when informing them.    


Monitoring plan can also include impact level indicators that can be measured only through a thorough WASH response evaluation process. It will be essential to ensure specific means and budget  for their measurement.
