Contribute to the development Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP)
The Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) is the main inter-sector tool for response planning. It includes a summary of the humanitarian situation, the humanitarian country strategy and the plan of each cluster which are also called Operational Plans. It also contains the overall response budget, and is used as a funding appeal document.
The HRP process is driven by OCHA, with contributions from cluster coordinators. In protracted emergencies, it is usually done on a yearly basis, in October, after the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). HRPs are usually updated 6 months after their publication, with the release of a revised HRP. In sudden onset emergencies, it can be replaced or complemented by a Flash Appeal, following a specific emergency scale-up activation timeline.
WASH coordination platforms must participate in the HRP process by working with other clusters and their partners to develop or update the WASH Operational Response Plan. The following sub-pages provides information on how to develop each WASH Operational Response Plan's elements:
