Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 / Part 2: Humanitarian Response Plan

2.6 Monitoring

Response monitoring

The humanitarian community will strengthen accountability for assistance to vulnerable people in Sudan through improved monitoring efforts by the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) and Information Management Working Group (IMWG). Clusters will monitor their response based on indicators to track progress towards activities and objectives and consolidate age- and gender-disaggregated inputs from partners and report to OCHA through the monthly 4Ws report.

Monitoring challenges due to access constraints, particularly in areas experiencing extensive protection violations such as the Darfur states, call for creative monitoring approach, such as remote monitoring. This is to ensure timely adjustment or course correction of the response and that humanitarian assistance reaches those most in need.

Situation and Needs Monitoring

Humanitarian needs will be monitored throughout the year to assess risks, context changes, and response implications. Nationwide, state, and locality assessments will be conducted using multiple data sources. The Assessment and Analysis Working Group will create an analytical framework for situational monitoring in 2024, including a comprehensive secondary data review and an up to date assessment registry. The output from the framework will include a situational monitoring report and secondary datasets from the DEEP platform .

Humanitarian Programme Cycle Timeline

OCHA will publish an inter-cluster Humanitarian Dashboard monthly and a Periodic Monitoring Response (PMR) quarterly, capturing progress toward HRP objectives and the associated funding status as reported on the Financial Tracking Services (FTS). Primary data will be publicly available online on the Humanitarian Action Platform and it will be accessible for partners and decision-makers. The Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) will monitor its projects in alignment with HRP activities and program indicators.
