WASH response strategy

Define WASH response strategy

Define WASH response strategic objectives

Definition of WASH strategic objectives should be done collaboratively with the Sectorial Advisory Group (SAG). To respect a coherency in the strategic planning process, primary considerations for definition of these objectives should not necessarily be WASH related, but based on Country Strategic Objectives, Humanitarian key issues and strategic objective of corresponding key clusters 

In some contexts, WASH can be considered as a priority cluster (drought, epidemic outbreak), but even in those contexts it might be relevant to consider first Food Security or Health objectives, and align WASH strategic objective on theirs.

Define WASH response modalities

The WASH coordination platform must elaborate the response's technical strategy, defining which activities should be done to answer to the assessed needs in a relevant way. This is a largely qualitative process, that should be done during a meeting with the SAG, based on the partners’ expertise of the and the lesson-learned from former emergency responses.
