What is it about?
Capacity development is a key function of the coordination platform. Once WASH needs have been identified, a capacity mapping can be done to evaluate if the WASH sector is able to answer to the identified needs. Based on the finding, capacity development can occur to fill observed gaps. Information on sector capacity mapping is required during strategic planning, to estimate cluster caseload and targets, as well as to be able to include sector capacity building in the WASH response strategy. But capacity mapping and development are usually considered as preparedness activities, because they require time and resources usually not available during emergency phase.
