WCAR WASH Coordination Model
1. Specific regional background
Institutional framework:
Informal regional level:
• “Regional Clusters” () (hosted by OCHA RO) set-up from the
informal regional IASC for the regional CAP (2008-2011)
• Regional “Groups” () facing regional lead agencies ()
among the Sahel Strategy (2012-2013, SRP 2014+)
Various regional groups:
• Sectors: Nut/Food Sec. ; WASH () ; Health ; Education…
• Themes: DRR, Cash Transfer; Cholera Platform ( ->
)

1. Specific regional background
WASH Group focus:
• Coordination: preparedness and response (GWC tools & training)
• Main battles: Delay of the response (), top down approach (),
generic activities (), “hygiene” (WASH), mono lead agency (),
sectoral opportunism ($) etc.
Humanitarian (WASH) thresholds:

Cholera morbidity

Population displacement

• Low interest in the WASH component of the crisis
• Under funding of the WASH part of the response

Strategy
• Reccurent cholera outbreak with an increasing

• Low response capacity / too late
• Despite increasing knowledge, lack of
standardised response (pb of knowledge
transmission and application)
• Lack of long term investments

3. Regional added value
Challenges :
• Fragile : Based on individuals, commited to work together and to support the
regional coordination
• Informal status : Lack of legitimity to bring some countries / partners together
towards the implementation of regional strategies
• National coordination performance level : In the end, the success of the regional
approach depends on a well functionning national coordination (need for ad hoc
support)
• Capitalisation / information sharing : Need to build a strong regional knowledge
management system which could ease the learning process for newcomers
