Rolling HAC & 2013 mid-year review 29 May 2013

What is the HAC? HAC gives COs visibility and a common funding document to support resource mobilization UNICEFs total emergency appeals (inter- agency + UNICEF) Sets ORE ceilings for each office

HAC as appeal & ceiling-setter Two ways for offices to set ORE ceilings: 1.inter-agency (CAPs, Flash, etc.) 2.UNICEF appeal (the HAC) These are the only ways to set/change ORE ceilings

One appeal– the Rolling HAC -annual HAC at start of the year and when situation warrants -Previously, Immediate Needs Documents and Humanitarian Action Updates -Now 1 tool/format to appeal/establish ceiling The Rolling HAC

Whats changed? Not a document a planning process & rolling appeal Print website, allows updates and reporting More results-based – Report against targets & within clusters (26 of 30 CERs had results tables) – Convey targets to achieve in 2013 More flexible (to updates & inter-agency)

2013 mid-year review (what) Mid-year review required, but adapted to context Sitreps for many – cleared at the CO; HAC revision for those that need it, but requires review at all 3 levels as its revising the ORE ceiling

2013 mid-year review (how) All HAC countries need to review at mid-year, and communicate: – Situation update – Plans/targets for remainder 2013 – Results against targets (1 Jan-30 June) – Funding requirements & Income

2013 mid-year review (how), cont. CAP COs review through an inter-agency process and communicate above through a Sitrep Non-CAP COs review internally, and determine whether to adjust requirements: – If no, then produce Sitreps – If funding requirements change, revise HAC chapter

Whether to update your HAC Non-CAP countries determine: – Funding gap (ORE income vs. current requirements) – Absorption capacity for remaining requirements July-Dec. – Projected change ( / ) in targets – Access – Change in situation-humanitarian needs greater/same/lower? If CO review concludes it can meet targets & implement by Dec., then leave HAC as is; If above requires more/fewer funds to implement by Dec., then adjust / Ok, as long as rationale provided

Deliverables Revised HAC chapters Or Sitreps For each: Reporting period 1 Jan -30 June Results against HAC targets Please use results tables & include clusters/sectors where relevant COs already producing monthly sitreps continue, with above

Only if revising HAC Timelines by 7 JuneNon-CAP countries notify RO & EMOPS whether need to change funding requirements, with rationale 1 July CO shares revised HAC chapters with RO & EMOPS RO reviews funding requirements 3 JulyRO & EMOPS provide comments, PARMO reviews income 8 JulyCO submits cleared version to EMOPS, cc RO 9 July EMOPS Director clears - shared publicly (website; PARMO/PFP; and at country level) after CAP MYR (week of 15 July) End July COs not revising HACs issue Sitreps

Wrap-up Changes are in response to feedback for a simpler and more streamlined process This very much depends on quality of drafts received RO/EMOPS can support (on appeals, decision process, performance monitoring), ex. Reporting against targets in results tables
