pooled funds for the WASH response
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 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 to maximize the contribution of pooled funds to the WASH overall budget.
Advocate to donors for pre-allocation of non-pooled funds for the WASH response
Not all emergency funds are centralized: donors also allocate funds directly to aid agencies. The WASH Cluster coordinator should be in contact with all potential donors for the WASH response. She/he should regularly communicate to them the WASH response strategy, priorities and overall updates. Donors should be made aware of possible funding gaps that they could address.
