WHOLE OF SYRIA COORDINATION
• Dual leadership
structure
• 300+ partners in 5
hubs
• Sector/cluster
coordinators and
NGO co-
coordinators in
each hub
• 100+ actors directly
involved in
coordination efforts
HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMME CYCLE
▪HPC is the primary tool used to generate common
articulation of humanitarian needs and priorities
▪Strong data driven, evidence base required to achieve
needs-based approach to guide operational planning and
strategic decision-making.
▪Approach requires regular, country-wide updates of:
1) Population movement (IDPs/returnees) flows
2) Population movement (IDPs/returnees) stock
3) Population estimates
4) Severity scale & calculation of Population in Need (PiN)
5) Sector specific needs-assessments and/or Multi-sector
needs analysis (MSNA)
HPC COORDINATION
▪Four work streams to coordinate HPC across hubs:
• Severity and PiN calculation
• Needs Assessments
• Population Taskforce
• IDP Taskforce
▪Work streams developed to create structure, transparency
and clarity within process
▪Consensus on core datasets achieved through population
and IDP taskforces
▪ Initially work streams were led by OCHA, co-led by key
stakeholders (WFP,UNCHR, INGOs)
▪Work streams now led by OCHA with buy-in from partners
HPC COORDINATION
• WoS coordination structure requires early agreement on HPC
planning and technical requirements
• Early agreement on purpose and approach is key, both at
leadership level and technical levels

Analysis -
HNO
Need to better streamline
severity indicators
Conducted peer review of sector

Planning -
HRP
Partners faced difficulties in
developing the HRP whilst the
HNO had not yet been
finalised.
Draft HNO will be presented and
shared with partners in advance of
project development
Monitoring -

Partners noted continued
challenges with 4W reporting
and accuracy
Developed English and Arabic
versions of 4W glossary to improve
partner reporting

INTER-SECTOR ANALYSIS
INTER-SECTORAL SEVERITY
▪ Inter-sector severity of need calculated based on 7 indicators:
1. Access
2. Newly displaced persons / returns
3. IDP caseload
4. % change of market prices (price monitoring data)
5. Access to health service
6. Security incidents
7. Coping mechanisms (food security data)
Inter-sector severity map updated quarterly at
community-level

INTER-SECTOR NEEDS ANALYSIS
2018 HNO identified six broad population groups
identified as generally facing the most acute needs across
sectors:
• People living in UN-declared besieged and hard-to-
reach areas
• People exposed to high intensity of hostilities and
living in areas contaminated with explosive hazards.
• IDPs living in last resort camps, sites and collective
shelters
• Newly-displaced populations
• Spontaneous/self-organized returnees
• Over-burdened host communities
OPPORTUNITIES AND LIMITATIONS
Opportunities- Evidence-based approach focused on data reduces politics
- Inter-sector severity used to focus response in areas of greatest need
- Regular updates of severity/PiN reflect changing dynamics
- Joint HNO/HRP workshop ensures that HNO findings directly inform HRP
strategy development
Limitations- Inter-sector severity indicators limited in ability to reflect reality on ground
- Disconnect between identification of needs (geo-based, community level)
and response planning (vulnerability-based, HH level)
- Heavy data requirements for updating inter-sector severity/PiN
- Limited capacity of HNO/HRP workshop to facilitate inter-sector analysis
- Increased donor demands for data and analysis difficult to manage
2019 Plans- HH-level assessment to inform analysis of vulnerable groups for 2019 HNO
RESPONSE MONITORINGANDGAPS ANALYSIS
RESPONSE MONITORING
• Needs, severity and PiN updated on quarterly basis
• Several tools and reports available for response monitoring:
▪ Mid Year Review PMR (January – May)
▪ End of Year Review PMR (January – December)
▪ WoS Response product (monthly)

GAPS ANALYSIS
INTER-SECTOR WORKSHOP
Joint HNO/HRP inter-sector workshop held with WoS and
hub-level coordinators to:
1) Review and achieve consensus on inter-sectoral and
sectoral analysis informing HNO key messages
2) Agree on the response scenarios and a common set of
‘planning figures’ emerging from the HNO for the HRP
3) Agree on HRP strategic objectives and key inter-sectoral
response priorities for development of sector strategies.
4) Agree on ways to improve inter-sectoral articulation of
strategies underpinning each HRP strategic objective
5) Agree on prioritization approach across sectors and
implications for project development and review
6) Agree on response monitoring parameters for next year
INTER-SECTOR RESPONSE PLANNING
Based on outcomes of the HNO/HRP Inter-sector Analysis
Workshop, agreement reached to include joint response
packages of interventions in 2018 HRP with the aim of:
(1) highlighting areas where complementary sector
responses will converge to reduce excess mortality and
morbidity;
(2) identifying opportunities for better integrated responses
aimed at addressing the most immediate protection and
life-saving and life-sustaining needs; and
(3) promoting a coordinated, multi-sectoral response for
most in need/vulnerable groups and in areas of highest
severity of need.
