(Damien, WASH cluster RRT)
-
Presentation and Emergency Preparedness Update attached
-
Stock has been calculated at an aggregate level, important to also consider where stocks
are held, and how to deal with differing packages of stocks in different locations
-
Discussion covered issues including importance of standardising units of supplies, how to
include provincial government capacity in identifying gaps, how distribution is managed,
clarifying that the budget covers a minimum package only, and contingency if a larger
caseload is experienced
-
Google Earth summary of water points in Sindh demonstrated, covering location,
functionality, population coverage – shared with Sindh WASH Cluster, with updated
information to be shared through PHED. Similar summaries are planned in other

4. Transformative agenda and cluster support from Humanitarian
Reform Project (Joe, Coordination Reform)
-
Presentation attached
-
Role is to support capacity building of NGOs and other participants in the cluster system;
through facilitating intercluster workshops and/or working with specific clusters for
strategic planning, gap analyses
-
Focus is on modality of clusters, rather than cluster-specific technical training;
coordination structures will be needed at district level in case of disasters – this might
mean a possible focus on district level inter-cluster training
-
Capacity and resource levels are challenges within provincial/district clusters, often
active members are not able to attend meetings
5. ERF (Emergency Response Fund) Briefing (Ira, OCHA)
-
Presentation attached
-
WASH has received $8.9m through ERF since August 2010 (24.6% of total)
-
Designed to respond to unforseen disasters, but can also be used to fill gaps in
humanitarian response plan (not development projects, however)
-
Projects between $50,000 and $250,000, and between 3 and 6 months’ duration,
preference given to established organisations in the geographic area, with proven
capacity, and strong gender strategy – supporting documentation is required
-
Review mechanisms – Advisory Board for strategic direction, Review Board for proposal
review, Technical Review Teams within each cluster
-
Further information via http://pakresponse.info/ERF.aspx
-
Discussion on the mechanism for opening a round of proposals – trigger is the NDMA
requesting the HC for assistance (if agencies are being approached by PDMAs, they
should refer them back to NDMA advice)
-
WCC indicated that Cluster Technical Review Team is under development

-
Request that an agency volunteer to coordinate GHD activities was put forward by
UNICEF chief WASH.
7. AoB – Gwadar – (Begna, WASH cluster)
-
Discussions continuing on response options – The local government, Navy and

diarrhoea.
-
The National disaster management authority has provided access to RO plants (reverse
osmosis).National cluster has developed a short project cost analysis and shared with
NDMA and agencies that showed interest.
