Implementation -

The Working Group Approach

Agencies have specific strengths/comparative advantages

Value and contribution to make in developing the sectorglobally desire to harness these strengths for the sector

as a whole

The strengths of all different agencies together are muchgreater than the capacity of any one agency

Cluster lead has responsibilities and accountabilities butthese can only be achieved by working together

WASH Cluster

Take an example, how it works for us


15/21

Global WASH cluster.what is it

Every large scale emergency, now a system. Betweenglobal and field.

Operational ngos already engaged and have anexpectation of what to happen

Global WASH now looked at this inLiberia , JavaUganda ,Philippines and recently Moz. (RTE)

Collected these lesson learnt forOCHA training course

We are planning to bring ALL WASH cluster leads so far

together in July in Nairobi. (mostly unicef) Backing up system , soon to be 7 Emerg.WASH

Advisers (unicef).These funded out of both capacitybuilding and other cluster donors ie ECHO


16/21

At a Country/Regional level WESNET meetings

in all areas cluster being rolled out

Every area will follow up with training. (part ofRedR work)

Linking in with work being done by DHR and

RedR on the global roster and training at Global

and regional level

From this comes UNCT with the Gov planing

recently in Timor Leste and a little in Somalia

Next month an up dating of the UNICEF officein Ethiopia with some briefing for the Gov.


17/21

Environmental and Solid Waste issues..we

are planning work in this area but little

done yet.

The lastest thing from our learning Project

was aR

eview of our WASH ClusterStrategy.

This was to see if we were going in the

right direction and the we still had our feet

in the water and hands in the ..


18/21

Is WASH Cluster complementary/compatable

with UNICEFs established policies and

commitments ie the CCCs YES one full time member of the CAST is

focused only on internal UNICEF. We see

as the cluster grows then UNICEF s

capacity has to grow. Example .We` have a global cluster capacity mapping of

equipment used by the agencies and where its stored

and do we need more of it etc. We have the same

going in UNICEF and its equipment and how we get it

out quicker.These two will very soon come together


19/21

Some areas where everyone is

involved Hygiene Project lead by Oxfam with global office

support from UNICEF . Very soon first phase willbe rolled out. (very much in support of the YEAR

of SANITATIO

N 2008)

In the WASH cluster we are looking to buildcapacity in the sector agencies as well as unicef.

But we recognise UNICEF unique in child focuswork and have requested money in this yearsappeal for work in preparedness in schools
