For pooled emergency funds such as CERF or CBPF, an un-earmarked budget allowance is given to the HC for the whole response. The HC decides on how to distribute share this un-earmarked amount between each sector or between the 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. The WASH cluster/sector coordinator, as other cluster coordinators, build a case through UNICEF and the inter-cluster group for a contribution to maximize the contribution of pooled funds to the WASH overall budget.
