Strategic indicators are the ones defined in the HRP and more specifically in the WASH Operational Response Plan’s monitoring plan, used WASH strategic indicators are the indicators included in the Monitoring plan of the WASH Operational Response Plan, part of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). They are used to monitor the achievement of the WASH strategic objectives. Many of them can be measured using 5W matrix, but some It is an important responsibility for the WASH Coordination platform to set up relevant mechanisms to inform these indicators at response level. Mechanisms often consist in collecting data from partners about their individual program and monitoring system, and consolidate these data to provide response level information. Some strategic indicators can be measured by analysing 5W matrix data. Others might be focused on quality, or capacity building, and will require to triangulate 5W data with other monitoring tools. The WASH Coordination platform needs to report on these indicators regularly in the monthly WASH response dashboard, and in the Periodic Monitoring Reports whose frequency is determined by OCHA.
