HAC 2014
Field guidelines
29 October 2013
Main messages
• HAC not a report, but a key milestone in CO
planning;
– Time investment should match proportion of funds
being sought/to be implemented
• HAC now sole internal mechanism for setting
ORE Planning Targets, replacing IND and HAUs;
• ORE Planning Targets require review by
RDs/delegate (as part of CAP where relevant)
and EMOPS
What is the HAC?
• Encompasses all UNICEF appeals to mobilize
humanitarian resources;
• Not a writing/editing exercise, but milestone
in planning to be monitored and reviewed
throughout implementation;
• Office-wide
Key changes
• Strengthen CO engagement:
– Systematic consultations with non-CAP COs in
selection process, serving as ‘pre-planning’
• Sequenced with other planning processes
– feed into regular planning, informed by interagency processes
• Simultaneous HQ/RO review
– speeding process while keeping technical review
at RO
• Flexibility – Rolling vs. tied to mid-year
• Improved look and branding of CO docs
Turning these …
Into the online HAC…
Streamlining planning, reporting and
resource mobilization
• Programme and ORE Targets in line with other
internal and external processes;
• Reporting should be against what you set out
in the HAC (sitreps, COARs, CERs)
• COs will need to frame humanitarian results in
Vision based on the HAC (forthcoming as part
of global guidance)
HAC not a one-off publication, but aligned to
internal/external processes
Different planning contexts:
• non-CAP (later than previous years with more
time for substantive discussions)
• CAP (timed to changing inter-agency process
 Please flag any issues)
• Sahel (inter-agency launch in February, bendbut-don’t break HAC deadline)

– Non-CAP consultation forms can form ‘pre-planning’
input
– Help answer, ‘Are we on track? Are the funding
requirements justified by the situation and plans, and
realistic based on context/capacity?’
• RO/HQ review – technical/funding review by RO
• 3 weeks to get it right before submitting Second
Draft

• Incorporation of humanitarian output indicators
into VISION and RAM – while keeping flexibility
to frame CO specific indicators (ongoing work)
Results reporting

– Against targets
– Where applicable, with clusters/sectors
• Reporting period: Jan. – Oct.

earlier if needed
• Report on what Offices said they would do
(Programme Targets) – twice a year, or more
depending on scale of humanitarian situation;
• Show results for funds received when revising
requirements
Wrap-up
• HAC not a report, but a key milestone in CO
planning;
• HAC now sole internal mechanism for setting
ORE Planning Targets, replacing IND and HAUs;
• ORE Planning Targets require review by
RDs/delegate (part of CAP where relevant) and
EMOPS
• Global guidance on CO humanitarian results
structures – forthcoming as part of global
guidance
