Damage to household
Pre-existing vulnerability

23. Transition Plan
IASC request to the shelter and early recovery/livelihoods clusters by February 5th
This is not directly about relief to recovery nor cluster deactivation but about the downgrading of L3 to something else
Appears to be first time it has been done
Will be a very short document – maximum two pages
Criteria for declaration of an L3 – are these still in existence?
Scale
Capacity
Complexity
Urgency
Reputational Risk

24. Areas which will be considered in the plan are:
1.       A continuing requirement to address critical humanitarian needs and the violation of human rights;
2.       The need to maintain accountability for delivery in key sectors;
3.       The existence, capacity and willingness of national counterparts to lead sectoral coordination;
4.       The possibility of recurring or new disasters.
 Additionally we need to include capacity building (with considerations around global to regional surge capacity) and preparedness activities.
