Situation and Needs Monitoring
Humanitarian needs will be monitored throughout the year to assess risks, context changes, and response implications. The Assessment and Analysis Working Group-led Emergency Monitoring System, which consolidated primary and secondary datasets from different sources, will be used to inform the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) of areas with deteriorating conditions to facilitate response adjustments and, if required, to trigger detailed needs assessments.
Two key risks (floods and disease outbreaks) will be monitored through early warning systems and indicators, including meteorological and floods forecasts and surveillance systems in coordination with relevant partners, to inform anticipatory actions.
Response Monitoring
The humanitarian community will strengthen accountability for assistance to vulnerable people in Sudan through improved monitoring efforts by the different coordination forums. Clusters will monitor their response based on HNRP indicators to track progress towards activities (output level) and consolidate age- and gender-disaggregated inputs from partners and report to OCHA through the monthly 5Ws report on Activityinfo and HPC Tools. Stockpiles monitoring will also be undertaken by clusters to establish needed stocks and identify partners for stocks that are available or in the pipeline to meet the needs of the targeted population. The methodology for the calculations of people reached with inter-cluster assistance will be adjusted in 2025 to consider key indicators at locality level. The Community and Feedback Response Mechanism will be used to inform accountability to the affected population in the implementation of the response.
