What is it about?
During the implementation phase, the WASH coordination platform is responsible to monitor both response inputs (ensuring that they are adequate) and response outputs (ensuring a maximal response quality), against targets defined by the WASH Operational Response Plan and Strategic Operational Framework.
The responsibility of the WASH coordination platform regarding monitoring are summarized as follows, in link with relevant subsections of the chapter as well as other CTK section
- Prepare the WASH response's Monitoring Plan
Roll out the Activity reporting tools (5W)
Monitor response inputs:
WASH response's funds tracking
WASH partner's capacity mapping
local capacity mapping: not contemplated in the CTK
Humanitarian coordination performance monitoring
Monitor response outputs:
Monitor strategic indicators
Monitor response's geographical coverage
Monitor the response's accountability & protection aspects
Monitor the technical quality of the WASH interventions
Monitor the relevancy Relevancy
Various monitoring tools are available for the coordination platform. Some of them are standards (4W, Funds Tracking Services etc.), others need to be discussed and agreed with partners (3rd party monitoring, Feedback and complaints mechanism etc.)
Finally, the WASH coordination platform consolidates and analyses monitoring results to identify response gaps (quality, coverage...) and ensure they are addressed through advocacy. This will be addressed separately in the Gap analysis & advocacy chapter)
What are the objectives?
- Ensure that organizations involved in the response remain accountable to affected people, national authorities and donors;
- Provide guidance to WASH sector partners on operational and technical aspects of the response; and
- Ensure WASH response is implemented according to agreed strategy and quality standards by taking corrective action when required.
