2. Rolling HAC & 2013 mid-year review 29 May 2013

3. What is the HAC? • HAC gives COs visibility and a common funding document to support resource mobilization • UNICEF’s total emergency appeals (inter-agency + UNICEF) • Sets ORE ceilings for each office

4. HAC as appeal & ceiling-setter Two ways for offices to set ORE ceilings: • inter-agency (CAPs, Flash, etc.) • UNICEF appeal (the HAC) These are the only ways to set/change ORE ceilings

5. One appeal– the ‘Rolling’ HAC • ‘annual’ HAC at start of the year and when situation warrants • Previously, Immediate Needs Documents and Humanitarian Action Updates • Now 1 tool/format to appeal/establish ceiling  The ‘Rolling’ HAC

6. What’s changed? • Not a document  a planning process & rolling appeal • Print  website, allows updates and reporting • More results-based • Report against targets & within clusters (26 of 30 CERs had results tables) • Convey targets to achieve in 2013 • More flexible (to updates & inter-agency)

7. 2013 mid-year review (what) • Mid-year review required, but adapted to context • Sitreps for many – cleared at the CO; • HAC revision for those that need it, but requires review at all 3 levels as it’s revising the ORE ceiling

8. 2013 mid-year review (how) • All HAC countries need to review at mid-year, and communicate: • Situation update • Plans/targets for remainder 2013 • Results against targets (1 Jan-30 June) • Funding requirements & Income

9. 2013 mid-year review (how), cont. • CAP COs review through an inter-agency process and communicate above through a Sitrep • Non-CAP COs review internally, and determine whether to adjust requirements: • If no, then produce Sitreps • If funding requirements change, revise HAC chapter

10. Whether to update your HAC • Non-CAP countries determine: • Funding gap (ORE income vs. current requirements) • Absorption capacity for remaining requirements July-Dec. • Projected change (/) in targets • Access • Change in situation-humanitarian needs greater/same/lower? • If CO review concludes it can meet targets & implement by Dec., then leave HAC as is; • If above requires more/fewer funds to implement by Dec., then adjust / • Ok, as long as rationale provided

11. Deliverables • Revised HAC chapters Or • Sitreps For each: • Reporting period 1 Jan -30 June • Results against HAC targets • Please use results tables & include clusters/sectors where relevant COs already producing monthly sitreps continue, with above

12. Timelines by 7 June Non-CAP countries notify RO & EMOPS whether need to change funding requirements, with rationale 1 July CO shares revised HAC chapters with RO & EMOPS RO reviews funding requirements 3 July RO & EMOPS provide comments, PARMO reviews income 8 July CO submits cleared version to EMOPS, cc RO 9 July EMOPS Director clears - shared publicly (website; PARMO/PFP; and at country level) after CAP MYR (week of 15 July) End July COs not revising HACs issue Sitreps Only if revising HAC

13. Wrap-up • Changes are in response to feedback for a simpler and more streamlined process • This very much depends on quality of drafts received • RO/EMOPS can support (on appeals, decision process, performance monitoring), ex. Reporting against targets in results tables
