  6. UNICEF CLARE, findings

  7. Findings • Country and Global agreement UNICEF is effective in exercising its WASH cluster responsibilities. • WASH country partners state UNICEF is providing effective operational support. • WASH partners see positive effects on geographic and thematic coverage. • Country level WASH partners agree UNICEF adheres to partnership principles, but global WASH partners raised concerns about Equality and Transparency. • WASH roles and responsibilities are clear at country level but only ¼ of global respondents say they are clear. • Almost half of global WASH partners said UNICEF is not participating equally as a member.

  8. Findings • WASH cluster RECA capacities are the only formalized regional cluster/AoR capacity. • WASH country partners mostly agree UNICEF has comparative advantages due to its programmes and coordination capacities that support its CLA roles. • Global WASH partners questioned UNICEF’s programme and coordination comparative advantages with only 1/3 agreeing these strengths support its CLA role.

  9. Findings • WASH cluster found to have the strongest global surge capacity systems. • 44% of all cluster positions and surge deployments filled globally by UNICEF were for the WASH cluster. • 2/3 of WASH country partners rated cluster coordinators highly for needed technical and coordination (soft) skills.

  10. Findings • WASH cluster participants rated deactivation mechanisms and procedures as indadequate, similar to other clusters.

  11. Findings • 85% of WASH country partners state that coordination outcomes justify their investments of time and money. • 78% of WASH global partners state that coordination outcomes justify their investments of time and money.

  12. UNICEF is increasingly implementing its CLA role well, however the ability to carry out its CLA role well is limited and stretched due to ‘cluster scope creep’ – cluster activition beyond fit for purpose, linked to Contextual and internal factors

  13. UNICEF CLARE, recommendations

  14. Recommendations • Potential WASH Cluster Action Point(s) • Partnership: Develop mutual obligations of global cluster members that operationalize equality and transparency expectations. Ensure action plans clearly delineate roles and responsibilities, including those of UNICEF distinct from its cluster coordination roles.

  15. Recommendations • Potential WASH Cluster Action Point(s) • Regional roles: Analyse the lessons learned from the RECA system to inform consideration of the appropriate role for UNICEF regional offices in supporting national coordination platforms. • Performance monitoring: Establish performance monitoring approach to measure support from the global WASH cluster to national coordination platforms based on agreed action plans. • Comparative advantages: Map the comparative programme and coordination advantages of global WASH cluster members and use to inform action plans.

  16. Recommendations • Potential WASH Cluster Action Point(s) • Surge capacity strategy: Develop a strategy for staffing WASH cluster coordination functions that more deliberately defines when, where and for what functions different mechanisms will be used to provide coordination staff (e.g. RRT, SbPs, Country Office direct recruitment). • Capacity development: Identify the priority capacity development needs for national coordination platforms and determine the best approach to supporting them (e.g. RECA mentoring, simulations, etc.).

  17. Recommendations • Potential WASH Cluster Action Point(s) • Transition: Develop WASH cluster strategies and procedures for coordinating with pre-existing sectoral coordination mechanisms, coordinating with them and supporting sectoral coordination once a full WASH cluster is no longer required.
