22. TARGETTING AND VULNERABILITY

23. Transition Plan • IASC request to the shelter and early recovery/livelihoods clusters by February 5th • This is not directly about relief to recovery nor cluster deactivation but about the downgrading of L3 to something else • Appears to be first time it has been done • Will be a very short document – maximum two pages • Criteria for declaration of an L3 – are these still in existence? • Scale • Capacity • Complexity • Urgency • Reputational Risk

24. Areas which will be considered in the plan are: • 1.       A continuing requirement to address critical humanitarian needs and the violation of human rights; • 2.       The need to maintain accountability for delivery in key sectors; • 3.       The existence, capacity and willingness of national counterparts to lead sectoral coordination; • 4.       The possibility of recurring or new disasters. • Additionally we need to include capacity building (with considerations around global to regional surge capacity) and preparedness activities.
