Monitor the relevancy of WASH response strategy and selected implementation modalities
Some strategic choices regarding implementation modalities were done by HWCP and partners regarding the response in the HRP and the SOF. These choices were done based on the information available and the humanitarian situation at a specific time. They need to be reviewed regularly to ensure they are still relevant to the evolving emergency context, so as partners can re-orientate the strategy if necessary.
Various response modalities exist (direct implementation or implementation through local partners) and several options can be considered when delivering aids (in-kind assistance, market-based programming including conditional or even unconditional cash transfers, technical support, community engagement etc.). They also include technical choices made during the response design, such as choice of latrine design or behavior change strategy.
To be able to monitor the relevancy of implementation modalities, adequate monitoring mechanism must first be set up. Depending on the context, they can be based on the quality assurance framework elements (strategic indicators, coverage, accountability and protection, technical quality), complemented with other more general response indicators such as Value for money, Timeliness, Institutional capacity strengthening, Do no harm principles (ex: WASH market monitoring indicators).
