WASH Cluster Coordination Handbook GWC (2009)
The WASH Cluster Coordination Handbook aims to assist in achieving effective coordination among WASH Cluster actors and contribute to the overall Global WASH Cluster goal of improving the predictability, timeliness, and effectiveness of a comprehensive WASH response to humanitarian crises. Developed primarily to support the role of the WASH Cluster Coordinator (WCC), the content builds on information provided during the WASH Cluster Coordinator training. However, it will also be useful for the WASH Cluster Lead Agency and any other organizations, institutions, or individuals involved in the WASH Cluster as partners nationally or sub-nationally.
Structure and contents. The Handbook is loosely structured around the Terms of Reference for the WASH Cluster Coordinator, with emphasis on addressing coordination requirements and achieving collaborative aspects of the role. Reference is made throughout the Handbook to guiding IASC principles, WASH sector good practice,
and learning from previous WASH Cluster experience. Recognizing that every emergency is different, the Handbook provides users with tools and pointers to more detailed information and resources to support them in
decision making, management, and coordination of their work. It is intended to be a dip-in reference tool, rather than a step-by-step guide
