Needs

A coordination mechanism, the Early Recovery Cluster Network, has been established in Jerusalem and in Gaza to ensure a coherent early recovery response across all clusters and covering key thematic areas of recovery that would otherwise not be addressed.

Activities

• Lead the Early Recovery Cluster and Network in Jerusalem and in Gaza;
• Develop a strategic inter-agency early recovery response framework;
• Develop and implement an information management strategy in support of early recovery coordination;
• Monitor progress and impact of early recovery interventions, and re-orientate activities as required to meet the early recovery needs of the affected population;
• Identify capacities of early recovery actors and other relevant actors and strengthen them where necessary; and
• Ensure seamless coordination support and provide a foundation of support for the transition from humanitarian coordination to early recovery coordination, and for longer-term recovery planning.

Outcomes

• High impact of early recovery through coherent and well coordinated interventions across humanitarian clusters and early recovery thematic areas;
• Effective involvement of local, national and international partners;
• Clear roles and responsibilities amongst humanitarian partners involved in early recovery;
• Effective early recovery planning and identification of overlaps and gaps; and
• Hand-over strategies developed and implemented with OCHA to avoid coordination gaps over the duration of the appeal.
