Who will benefit from it. Strategic objectives 1.Country strategy HOW?

2.Cluster Response Plan Base the financial requirements on the projects Coordinated project planning follows (including cluster review/vetting) Agree on cluster objectives, top-line activities and indicators “They detail how the strategy will be implemented and how much funding is required”. HOW?

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE MONITORING

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. RESPONSE MONITORING PURPOSE 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.
