Need for a new approach Targets are under achieved, though huge out breaks are contained Revision of the appeal process not definite for now The emergency response period might remain till march 2012 or June 2012 How do we improve resource mobilization? Increase the current progress to reach target with minimum funds available Targets are under achieved, though huge out breaks are contained Revision of the appeal process not definite for now The emergency response period might remain till march 2012 or June 2012 How do we improve resource mobilization? Increase the current progress to reach target with minimum funds available

Appeal revision process 15 th November the HCT (Humanitarian Country Team) decided that the USD 550 million was way above 2010 formula therefore the HCT decided to reduce the amount to USD 411 Mil Wednesday 16 th November NDMA reviewed the draft appeal strategy and the proposed projects including WASH. NDMA considered the USD Circa 34mil for WASH against 74 Mil proposed by the WASH cluster through the project sheets

Constraints & Challenges Affected people returning in wider areas of origin difficult to reach those who are vulnerable Revision of the appeal process seems to be stagnant for now Funds that were received from donors for the first appeal might run out in few months even few weeks Humanitarian approach might shift to a complete early recovery in the new year straining response capacity within our cluster members.

SEARCH FOR ENABLING ENVIRONMENT to reach the remaining gaps in the three components of the WASH cluster plan which might shift to early recovery in the coming year????

WASH Cluster Challenges & Way Forward We might remain on course based on the initial appeal Inter-cluster needs analysis/strategy sectoral needs assessment, government interaction and response and progress plan needs to be shared, etc Bilateral funding mechanisms to be sought WASH Cluster, Way Forward

In areas of return, promotion of community-led total sanitation at national, provincial/state, district and community levels, including support for activities that stimulate demand for sanitation and activities that strengthen the supply of goods and services, including sanitation marketing covering 1.7 million people. WASH cluster strategy with ER touch

NDMA requested the targeted families to have access to latrine facilities, Establishing partnerships with Wash organizations. The difficulty with respect to this ‘compulsary’ Wash element is that latrines are not considered recovery, will not be funded by some (not all) donors and are not included in the Wash recovery strategy.

Latrine construction (shelter cluster perspective)

Shelter cluster partners advised to develop latrine plans during the recovery projects to be implemented later with ‘development’ funding. Plus hygiene promotion components into shelter trainings, Allocate some space for the future latrine on the plot and potentially provide the families that are familiar with latrines with technical advise about latrine construction and drainage Shelter cluster partners advised to develop latrine plans during the recovery projects to be implemented later with ‘development’ funding.
