WASH Cluster
Description
The vision of the Global WASH Cluster (GWC) is that enhancing and strengthening effective and accountable humanitarian coordination for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) will result in timely, predictable and high-quality WASH outcomes that are inclusive and equitable, for the people most affected by and vulnerable to crises. At the global level, the GWC supports the cluster approach by strengthening the system-wide preparedness and coordination of response capacity in humanitarian crises and providing clear leadership and accountability. At the country level, the GWC supports national coordination platforms (NCPs) to strengthen partnerships, and the predictability and accountability of humanitarian action, by improving prioritization and clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of humanitarian organizations. As a priority, the GWC supports NCPs on the delivery of the 6+1 core functions, which guide cluster coordination, as outlined in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Reference Module for Cluster Coordination.
