Rolling HAC &
2013 mid-year
review
29 May 2013
What is the HAC?
• HAC gives COs visibility and a common
funding document to support resource
mobilization
• UNICEF’s total emergency appeals (interagency + UNICEF)
• Sets ORE ceilings for each office
HAC as appeal & ceiling-setter
Two ways for offices to set ORE
ceilings:
1. inter-agency (CAPs, Flash, etc.)
2. UNICEF appeal (the HAC)
These are the only ways to
set/change ORE ceilings
One appeal– the ‘Rolling’ HAC
- ‘annual’ HAC at start of
the year and when
situation warrants
- Previously, Immediate
Needs Documents and
Humanitarian Action
Updates
- Now 1 tool/format to
appeal/establish ceiling
 The ‘Rolling’ HAC
What’s changed?
• Not a document  a planning process &
rolling appeal
• Print  website, allows updates and reporting
• More results-based
– Report against targets & within clusters
(26 of 30 CERs had results tables)
– Convey targets to achieve in 2013
• More flexible (to updates &
inter-agency)
2013 mid-year review (what)
• Mid-year review required, but adapted to
context
• Sitreps for many – cleared at the CO;
• HAC revision for those that need it, but
requires review at all 3 levels as it’s revising
the ORE ceiling
2013 mid-year review (how)
• All HAC countries need to review at mid-year,
and communicate:
– Situation update
– Plans/targets for remainder 2013
– Results against targets (1 Jan-30 June)
– Funding requirements & Income
2013 mid-year review (how), cont.
• CAP COs review through an inter-agency
process and communicate above through a
Sitrep
• Non-CAP COs review internally, and determine
whether to adjust requirements:
– If no, then produce Sitreps
– If funding requirements change, revise HAC
chapter
Whether to update your HAC
• Non-CAP countries determine:
–
–
–
–
–
Funding gap (ORE income vs. current requirements)
Absorption capacity for remaining requirements July-Dec.
Projected change (/ ) in targets
Access
Change in situation-humanitarian needs greater/same/lower?
• If CO review concludes it can meet targets & implement
by Dec., then leave HAC as is;
• If above requires more/fewer funds to implement by
Dec., then adjust / 
• Ok, as long as rationale provided
Deliverables
• Revised HAC chapters
Or
• Sitreps
For each:
• Reporting period 1 Jan -30 June
• Results against HAC targets
• Please use results tables & include
clusters/sectors where relevant
COs already producing monthly sitreps
continue, with above

Wrap-up
• Changes are in response to feedback for a
simpler and more streamlined process
• This very much depends on quality of drafts

process, performance monitoring), ex.
