HAC 2014 Field guidelines 29 October 2013
Main messages • HAC not a report, but a key milestone in CO planning; • Time investment should match proportion of funds being sought/to be implemented • HAC now sole internal mechanism for setting ORE Planning Targets, replacing IND and HAUs; • ORE Planning Targets require review by RDs/delegate (as part of CAP where relevant) and EMOPS
What is the HAC? • Encompasses all UNICEF appeals to mobilize humanitarian resources; • Not a writing/editing exercise, but milestone in planning to be monitored and reviewed throughout implementation; • Office-wide
Key changes • Strengthen CO engagement: • Systematic consultations with non-CAP COs in selection process, serving as ‘pre-planning’ • Sequenced with other planning processes • feed into regular planning, informed by inter-agency processes • Simultaneous HQ/RO review • speeding process while keeping technical review at RO • Flexibility – Rolling vs. tied to mid-year • Improved look and branding of CO docs
Turning these … Into the online HAC…
Streamlining planning, reporting and resource mobilization • Programme and ORE Targets in line with other internal and external processes; • Reporting should be against what you set out in the HAC (sitreps, COARs, CERs) • COs will need to frame humanitarian results in Vision based on the HAC (forthcoming as part of global guidance) HAC not a one-off publication, but aligned to internal/external processes
Different planning contexts: • non-CAP (later than previous years with more time for substantive discussions) • CAP (timed to changing inter-agency process Please flag any issues) • Sahel (inter-agency launch in February, bend-but-don’t break HAC deadline) Flexibility requires discipline in deadlines
Timelines • First draft to REA + EMOPS • NFR on planning • Non-CAP consultation forms can form ‘pre-planning’ input • Help answer, ‘Are we on track? Are the funding requirements justified by the situation and plans, and realistic based on context/capacity?’ • RO/HQ review – technical/funding review by RO • 3 weeks to get it right before submitting Second Draft
What to do Determine: • Humanitarian situation • Humanitarian strategy • Programme targets • Funding requirements
Framing CAP/HAC humanitarian results in Vision • Alignment of 2014-2017 Strategic Plan humanitarian output indicators with HAC and CCC priority ‘indicators’ • Incorporation of humanitarian output indicators into VISION and RAM– while keeping flexibility to frame CO specific indicators (ongoing work)
Results reporting • For 2013, 1 para. narrative and 1 results table • Against targets • Where applicable, with clusters/sectors • Reporting period: Jan. – Oct. • All humanitarian results, regardless funding source (footnote where carryover or regular programme contribution significant)
HAC responsibilities • Review at least once a year – mid-year or earlier if needed • Report on what Offices said they would do (Programme Targets) – twice a year, or more depending on scale of humanitarian situation; • Show results for funds received when revising requirements
Wrap-up • HAC not a report, but a key milestone in CO planning; • HAC now sole internal mechanism for setting ORE Planning Targets, replacing IND and HAUs; • ORE Planning Targets require review by RDs/delegate (part of CAP where relevant) and EMOPS • Global guidance on CO humanitarian results structures – forthcoming as part of global guidance
