Trinidad and Tobago WASH Coordiantion platform Work Plan 2024

 A coordination work plan must be established and regularly updated by the WCC. The work plan must integrate all the inputs from the WASH coordination platform . In the case of a first phase emergency, or the creation of a new coordination platform, work plan can be based on the list of GWC Minimum Requirements. When situation becomes more stable, a more exhaustive work plan can be developped based on the exhaustive list of 2019 GWC coordination tasks list.xlsx. Template and example of work plans are proposed on top of this page.

Technical Working Groups

Technical Working Groups (TWiG) are set up to resolve specific challenges (technical, standards, quality etc). They are task-oriented and time-limited in their formation and ToRs. They are created on a needs-basis, for example to agree minimum standards or formulate appropriate technical practices, and should dissolve once their task is completed. TWiGs are coordinated by a focal point or technical adviser (usually one of the WASH partners) and composed of relevant technical experts. Specific IM and assessment working group can also be created when needed.
