HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE MONITORING

HOW TO USE THIS PRESENTATION This presentation contains a complete overview of all aspects of Response Monitoring Presenting all the slides is heavy and rarely a wise thing to do Instead, whoever has to do a presentation on Response Monitoring may pick from the slides those that are useful for that specific presentation

THE HUMANITARIAN PROGRAM CYCLE

WORK DONE The Monitoring Technical Group is an interagency group developing a common approach on response monitoring at collective level: strategic & cluster objectives Work in agree on basic concepts of monitoring and draft guidance. December 2013:  Humanitarian Response Monitoring Guidance  Periodic Monitoring Report template and guidance 2014: feedback, finalisation, dissemination 2015: implement monitoring frameworks in all countries

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE MONITORING A DEFINITION A continuous process that records the aid delivered to affected populations as well as the achieved results set out in the objectives of Strategic Response Plan. Tracks inputs, and outputs resulting from interventions to affected populations Charts outcomes of cluster activities Measures progress towards objectives of SRP, considering diversity of affected population & their perspectives of the response

PURPOSE OF RESPONSE MONITORING 1)Provides humanitarian actors an evidence base for making decisions about what actions should be taken to redress shortcomings, fill gaps and/or adjust the SRP, contributing to a more effective and efficient humanitarian response, in the short and long term and 2)Serves to improve accountability of the humanitarian community for the achievement of results outlined in the SRP, towards affected populations, local governments, donors and the general public.

SRP LOGICAL FRAMEWORK IN THE CLUSTER RESPONSE PLAN

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE EXAMPLES STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Reduce mortality and morbidity amongst displaced people to pre-emergency levels Indicator (outcome)BaselineTarget 1. Under 5 mortality rateunavailable<2.0/10,000/day 2. Incidence for (selected diseases relevant to the local context)unavailableat or below seasonal incidence trend 3. % of households with access to a source of safe drinking-water40%80% 4. % of households with access to a functioning toilet45%75% 5. % of households having acceptable food consumption30%80% STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Immediate improvement of the living conditions of internally displaced people, through provision of essential commodities Indicator (outcome)BaselineTarget 1. % of target population having access to shelter40%90% 2. Average number of litres of water per person per day, among the target population % of targeted households with reliable and sustainable food sources30%65% 4. Average Dietary Diversity<3>6 5. Affected population’s overall self-assessment of their living conditions, on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best) 24

2: MONITORING: APPLYING THE MONITORING FRAMEWORK ALONG THE SRP CYCLE Response Monitoring Data made available Cluster/ Inter-cluster data compiled & analysed against strategic objectives Inter-cluster outcome indcator data collected & submitted Cluster level data aggregated & analyzed against targets & cluster objectives Cluster outcome indicator data collected & submitted Cluster members submit data on output indicators KEY STEPS

3: REPORTING: PRESENTING MONITORING FINDINGS External release of Periodic Monitoring Report HC/HCT deliberates & takes any corrective action Produce Preliminary Periodic Monitoring Report Analyse information, identifying challenges & formulating recommendations Consolidate monitoring & supplemental information Plan for production of monitoring report & actions to be taken KEY STEPS
