The overall monitoring of the humanitarian response in 2026 will be based on the nationwide targets, objectives, and indicators set by clusters and agreed upon by the HCT in this HNRP. Monitoring data will be analysed against the severity of needs to understand whether the response is reaching those whose lives are most at risk. The Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) will take primary responsibility for ensuring that monitoring activities are completed, including regular reporting on the implementation of cluster response plans, progress on cross-cutting issues, and analysis of challenges faced. For the 2026 HNRP, the quarterly reporting cycle will be maintained, with a concise dashboard on interim progress published for each quarter.
All partners will be encouraged to report SADDD and incorporate gender-sensitive indicators, including access barriers, use of services by women and girls, and feedback from women-led groups. Monitoring will include qualitative feedback from women and girls to adjust targeting and delivery modalities. The IASC Gender Equality Policy and Accountability Framework mandates the inclusion of women’s participation in monitoring humanitarian activities, emphasizing the need to integrate their knowledge, capacities and leadership at all stages, and explicitly requiring consultations with local women’s organizations to ensure their needs and priorities inform decision-making. The framework monitors this inclusion and the required mechanisms for feedback on how their contributions are addressed.
All humanitarian organizations implementing the HNRP are expected to use the online reporting tool, ActivityInfo, to facilitate simplified, secure, and fully aligned reporting—reducing operational partners' administrative burden and encouraging increased reporting across the operation. Additionally, clusters will develop or continue producing a range of reports on response activities throughout the year, and analytical reports on a monthly or quarterly cycle.
In addition to monitoring the number of people reached, IDP projections will also be monitored throughout the year, with the possibility of a revision to the HNRP should the numbers significantly diverge from planning assumptions. Monthly humanitarian updates, incorporating inputs from clusters, will be issued once a quarter, highlighting nationwide needs, response efforts, gaps, and constraints. Flash updates will be utilized as needed to emphasize sudden changes in humanitarian needs and the context.
Public platforms, including the MIMU website and ReliefWeb, will continue to disseminate various information products to a broad audience.
The 2026 HNRP monitoring framework has been designed to effectively track and assess cluster response activities delivered to those directly impacted by conflict and disasters, as well as activities benefiting other shock-affected people facing humanitarian needs due to worsening conditions. Protection-specific indicators will be used to monitor the incidence of and response to increased protection concerns of civilians resulting from conflict, including efforts to promote international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
For the first time, cash-based activities—such as cluster-specific CVA or MPC grants—are established as individual activities with cash-only indicators. Indicators associated with in-kind delivery are recorded under separate activities.
