The attached excel file is the updated Sudan Health Cluster 4W template in 2024.
All the HC partners must fill the template and send to healthcluster.im@who.int on a weekly basis, every Wednesday before COB. That information will be compiled and processed to generate the HC dashboard, update the maps, and orient the decision-making process.
Please click on the "Humanitarian" tab to enter information by your respective organization, by State, locality and health Facility. Each place and activity must be in a separate row.

What are the 4W?
-An attempt to show the operational presence by sector and location within an emergency.

Used by NGOs and Clusters
-To identify potential partners
-To start the process to make operational decisions

-To remove degrees of separation in order to speed up and improve efficiency of response
-To ask more informed questions of what is happening within a cluster
Used by the Government

-To understand who is in country
-To connect with the various responders
-To monitor the emergency response inside
Used by OCHA
-To enable better preparedness before a new incident
-To enable coordination amongst actors in a response
-To leverage as a potential proxy indicator on other subjects
