GWC Minimum Requirements

Monitor the achievements of the Minimum Requirements for National Humanitarian WASH Coordination Platforms

The Strategic Advisory Group of the Global WASH Cluster (GWC) has defined a set of Minimum Requirements (MR) for country level coordination based on the IASC core functions for cluster coordination and commitments for accountability to affected populations. The MR are considered the basic package required to achieve effective WASH humanitarian coordination at the country level. They are designed to provide a light-approach mechanism to monitor WASH humanitarian platforms (clusters or sectors) at the country level, providing crucial insight into the needs for capacity building, training and global support. At the country level, cluster coordinators and the CLA will use this information to highlight trends in cluster functionality as well as identifying specific core functions that need support. An example of use of the MR in french is given in Field Example section.
