  • Support the establishment of an appropriate coordination mechanism (including basic information management) of the WASH sector for emergency preparedness and response in countries that do not have one yet, based on the Global WASH Cluster 6+1 functions and WASH-LAC Group minimum requirements for WASH sector coordination (Appendix 1).
  • Strengthen already existing sectoral national/sub national coordination ensuring fulfillment of the minimum coordination requirements for the WASH sector through increased preparedness with primary focus on the hurricane season.
Strategic activities 2 and 3 above include the following sub activities:
