Knowledge Management

This Humanitarian Response Monitoring Guidance is meant for all humanitarian actors involved in the preparation of a humanitarian response plan and its monitoring. It gives a definition for humanitarian response monitoring is and how to carry it out when monitoring a humanitarian response plan (HRP), whether for a sudden or slow onset disaster or complex emergency. It aims to define the standard components, ensure a common understanding of the key concepts and spell out related responsibilities.

This inter-agency agreed set of documents offers a template and explanations for presenting the progress of the HRP response during the year. The publication of a PMR is not mandatory and the template can be adapted in a flexible way.

This information sharing understanding is an agreed set of principles and standards under which STIMA -Assessment Working Group (AWG) partner organisations agree to share, store and secure information, including sensitive aggregated data. The understanding will be relevant for sector chairs, all agencies, NGOs involved in AWG processes and products. OCHA as the chair of the AWG will ensure that the understanding is established, respected and adhered to by the AWG participating organizations.

This set of inter-agency agreed documents offers a template and explanations for the preparation of a Humanitarian Dashboard.

The humanitarian dashboard is one of the four priority OCHA information products and is an IASC agreed tool that presents a succinct and primarily visual overview of progress towards meeting needs in a humanitarian response. It allows stakeholders to quickly understand the strategic priorities of a response, the key figures characterizing the crisis, and the most important humanitarian needs and related response per sector.
